'It seems he is coming' - Ramires urges Hulk to complete Chelsea move
The midfielder is excited by the Blues' reported interest in the
25-year-old Porto forward and believes his Brazil team-mate would add
quality to the west London outfit
Chelsea midfielder Ramires has welcomed reports of the Blues' pursuit of Porto striker Hulk, saying his Brazil team-mate will have no problem adapting to the Premier League.
The 25-year-old looks set to become the next
Europe-based star to secure a move to west London, as Chelsea continue
to capitalise on their Champions League win last season.
And Ramires says that he and fellow
Brazilian David Luiz will make the former Tokyo Verdy forward feel at
home at Stamford Bridge.
"I am following from here in Brazil the news about Hulk's probable signing for Chelsea,” Ramires told reporters.
“It seems he is coming. I played with him in the Brazilian team, we
were on opposing side when I played for Benfica and he would definitely
add a lot to the team.
“If it was up to me it would already be settled. With the personality
that he has, he will come, put on the shirt and start playing.
"He will not have any problem adapting. Both me and David Luiz will make him feel at home quickly. I hope it all works out."
The former Benfica man also went on to reveal that he has split
loyalties ahead of Euro 2012 due to the number of nationalities in the
Chelsea dressing room.
But, he admitted that Spain were his favourites to win the
tournament, adding that he believes Fernando Torres and Juan Mata have
what it takes to be among the most impressive players in Poland and
Ukraine.
He added: “I am going to support England
and Spain as they are the teams with most Chelsea players; and Portugal
because of the affection I have for their people as well as my
friendship with [Raul] Meireles.
“We have other team-mates in the competition as well like [Florent]
Malouda in France, and I hope that some of those can play a big part in
the competition. It would be great for Chelsea.
“If I had to choose a favourite, I would be talking about Spain. They
are the current world champions and they have the most settled team.
“[Fernando] Torres and [Juan] Mata have everything needed to go far
and fight for the best player award, but the Euros are a difficult and
unpredictable competition.
“We will definitely see some great games.”
