The agent of Porto striker Hulk has revealed that his client is open to the idea of playing under Andre Villas-Boas at Chelsea.
The coach and the attacker parted ways in the summer as the manager left the Dragons to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazil international has been linked with some of Europe's top clubs recently and his representative did not rule out a reunion with his former mentor.
"They [Hulk and Andre Villas-Boas] had a fantastic time at Porto together. The relationship between the two cannot be better," agent Theodoro Fonseca told Portuguese radio station TSF. "Working with Andre, be it in Chelsea, Porto or any other team, Hulk is going to agree to that with heart and soul. In football everything is possible. The player feels very good in Porto, who treat him very well. There are interested clubs in France and Brazil, but it all depends on the club and the player's wishes."
Hulk has made 12 league appearances for the Dragons this season, finding the back of the net seven times.
