Brazil striker Hulk has admitted that he is coveted by a host of teams across Europe.

And while he says he remains comfortable at his current team, Zenit St Petersburg, who he joined from Porto in an estimated £40 million deal before last season, he has left the door ajar for his suitors.

The powerful 26-year-old hit-man furthered his reputation as one of Brazil’s three-pronged attack at the Confederations Cup, where Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Monaco were said to be watching him covetously.

But Hulk still has until 2017 to play as Zenit man, and says that while he is open to a move, it would only be to one of Europe’s most illustrious football edifices.

"Those approaches [by other clubs] do exist," Hulk said of the reported interest in his services to TV Paraiba.

"There are clubs interested in me.

“But if I am to move, it has to be to a better place, with a better team in a better competition.

“I will be happy too if I stay. Zenit are a great club."
