Nottingham to sign Nelson Oliveira
Championship side Nottingham Forest have agreed a deal for Benfica striker Nelson Oliveira, .
The English giants saw winger Michael Antonio join West Ham in a £7 million transfer on summer deadline day, and they in turn decided to reinforce their front line with the Portuguese forward.
A Bola has learned that Nelson Oliveira will join Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old was considered one of Portugal s hottest prospects not so long ago, but he never quite managed to prove his worth at Estadio da Luz.
Following successful stints with Deportivo La Coruna and Rennes, Oliveira was loaned to Swansea last summer, but could only score one goal in ten Premier League appearances.
