Top 5 players who should return to Europe from the Chinese Super League

#3 Hulk (Shanghai SIPG)

Hulk has commendably performed to his best level in Chinese football

Unlike his South American compatriot Carlos Tevez, Brazilian forward Hulk hasn't been content to sit back and accept his large payday in China. Since moving to Shanghai, he's struck home 21 goals in 34 appearances.

This isn't surprising when one considers the player's European career: upon arriving with Porto in Portugal in 2008, Hulk managed to reach double figures for goals in 7 of his 9 seasons on the continent.

Much of this came as a right winger, making the achievement even more remarkable. Hulk was a full Brazilian international when he arrived in Chinese football but he hasn't made an appearance for his country since.

As a starter for Brazil at the last World Cup in 2014, Hulk would have been hoping to make the next one but that looks highly unlikely. At 32, perhaps, he only had 1 or 2 more seasons left in his body, but he never got to test himself against the best defences in Italy or England - something which can still be rectified.
