The veteran, who won the title in the Brazilian Série A as well as the Copa do Brasil, was also crowned top scorer in both the league and the cup. Overall, the forward has 41 goals in 72 games since arriving at the Belo Horizonte club. Givanildo Vieira de Souza aka Hulk moved back to his home country from China on a free transfer in February 2021.
Even at an advanced age for a footballer, Hulk continues to aim high and aspires to take part in the World Cup in Qatar. He was there in Brazil 2014 on home soil but was not included in the 2018 squad. With the return home, however, he is more in the focus of national coach Tite.
