Hulk is confident that Zenit St Petersburg have what it takes to compete with the top teams in Europe in the not too distant future.
The Brazil international has revealed that he got a number of offers during the summer transfer window, but only Zenit did enough to convince him of their immense potential to make him want to leave Porto.
"I'm certain that, in the future, Zenit will be one of the biggest teams in Europe," Hulk was quoted as saying on the official Fifa website.
