Full story: Sunday Express

What’s the story? Is he really? And what is he planning to do with them both? Change to a 4-4-2 that’s he never played in his life? Change to a 4-3-3 that he’s only rarely used which would mean one of Hulk, Mata or Hazard not playing? Or sticking with his beloved 4-2-3-1 and dropping one of the three amigos for the grossly inferior one season wonder that is Hulk? Cavani would be excellent though.Does it make sense? Cavani yes, Hulk no.Is the price right? If this is £90 it means that £52m Cavani is joined by £38m Hulk, a number so extraordinarily over the top that is hard to fathom.Will it happen? 6/10 – Who knows with Chelsea but if they sign Hulk it’s the worst signing of the summer (of all time?). They’d be better off paying £35m for Andy Carroll.
