Hulk's agent has played down reports that the Porto striker is on his way to Chelsea.

The 25-year-old was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer and rumours have resurfaced following the reopening of the transfer window, with Andre Villas-Boas reportedly keen to bring his former Porto charge to London.

Despite claiming recently that Hulk would "wholeheartedly agree to work with Andre", Teodoro Fonseca insists his client is not interested in a move away from Estadio da Dragao and claims there has been no contact from Chelsea.

"The player isn't preparing to leave Porto because he is happy at the club," Fonseca told O Jogo. "I have not spoken to anybody from Chelsea. Villas-Boas knows the footballer and Porto well.

"Every day I receive calls from agents but the only serious offers we have received were three last season, offering him a better salary than at Porto.

"But Hulk rejected them because of sporting motives. He is not just interested in money but challenges on the pitch. I admit Hulk can't stay at Porto forever. That is football and at the moment the clause in his deal is decisive."
