9 Players Most Likely To Join Arsenal This Summer

3. Hulk - 4/1

Current Club: Zenit Saint Petersburg One of the most enduring images of the World Cup finals in Brazil was of Hulk blazing the ball 40 yards high and wide of the goal, from a position that most human beings would identify as too far away from a goal-scoring position. And despite his scoring 24 goals last season for Zenit, he was largely a blunt instrument for his national side on the biggest international stage of all, missing a penalty and having one goal chalked off for handball (harshly). But that hasn't really diluted Hulk's potential in the eyes of the transfer rumour-whipping media, who see his unhappiness at Zenit, and his ability to fall out with his coaches at the drop of a hat as an indication that he is not long for the Russian league. Wenger has been credited with an admiration of the player for a while, but it would be difficult to balance a team consisting of both Hulk and Alexi Sanchez, with Theo Walcott waiting in the wings as well. Will He Sign? Would Arsene Wenger really try and sign a player who is so comically unwilling to pass to his team-mates? No.
