Hulk rules out Porto departure

Reported Chelsea and Arsenal transfer target Hulk has insisted that he has no intention of leaving FC Porto.

The London clubs have both been linked with making a move for the Brazilian striker during the January transfer window.

However, the 25-year-old has claimed that he is only focused on "making history" with the Portuguese champions.

"I hope to continue giving much joy to this club," he said. "I want to make history in Porto. They are the best club I have been in my life and they gave me the opportunity to play in Europe.

"I am very grateful to the club and I will not leave although rumours continue to appear in the newspapers.

"My head is only focused on Porto."

Hulk is believed to have a release clause in his contract worth £87m.
