Wolves Offered Free Agent Hulk as Raul Jimenez Replacement

Wolves have been offered the opportunity to sign former Brazil international Hulk as a replacement for the injured Raul Jimenez.

Jimenez is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after he suffered a fractured skull during a sickening head collision with David Luiz during Wolves' Premier League clash with Arsenal in November.

Wolves are poised to enter the market for a striker in January in order to fill the void left by Jimenez - who has been the club's top scorer in each of his two seasons at Molineux.

According to Football Insider, Nuno Espirito Santo has been informed that Hulk would be interested in a move to the Premier League following the conclusion of his four-year spell with Shanghai SIPG.

The 34-year-old left the Chinese Super League outfit in December following the completion of their season and would subsequently be available on a free transfer. The lack of transfer fee could instead supplement a substantial wage package, with the former Porto man pocketing £385,000-per-week with Shanghai.

However, according to the Record, Hulk would be prepared to take a 90% wage cut in order to secure a move to the Premier League.

The forward would be willing to reduce his salary to £48,000-a-week - and is not short on offers around the world after opting to not renew his stay in China.

"I am listening to many proposals from Brazil and many places including in Europe," Hulk said. "[I have offers from] Turkey, Portugal, England, Spain, Italy, Germany - and I also have an offer from China. Every day more new proposals arrive."

Hulk has scored goals wherever he has been throughout his career. The Brazilian netted 76 goals in 145 appearances for Shanghai, having scored the same figure for Zenit St Petersburg between 2012 and 2016, and previously finding the net 77 times in 169 appearances for Porto.
