Report: Benfica loan Nelson Oliveira to Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest agree a loan deal for Benfica striker Nelson Oliveira, according to a report.

Nottingham Forest have reportedly agreed a loan deal for Benfica striker Nelson Oliveira.

The 24-year-old has struggled for regular first-team action with his parent club and has been loaned out to the likes of Deportivo La Coruna, Rennes and Swansea City in recent seasons.

According to MaisFootball, Benfica agreed to loan Oliveira to Forest before the transfer window closed at 6pm on Tuesday, but the deal depends on all the required paperwork being filed in time.

Forest had been looking to bolster their attacking options, with Chris O'Grady arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion on loan on deadline day.

Oliveira has won 14 caps for Portugal and was a member of their squads for Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup.
