Nelson Oliveira will represent Cardiff in 2013/14 on loan. The negotiation process between the emblem of the Premier League and Benfica is well advanced, which leads us to believe that there is white smoke in the coming hours.

Smart move by Malky, taking him on loan. Obviously a player with potential due to the clubs that were looking at him last year, seems to have fallen out of favour at Benfica maybe a new start could revive him.

As for the loan good move rather than spending a few million on someone that may not regain the form that turned the heads of UTD etc. If he finds his form then bingo! If he doesn't nothing lost really.

Good news if true

Wasn't it £1 million loan with a buy out of 6Million at the end of the season? Good deal if you ask me.

4 goals in 30 matches last season bit of a risk.

Yep you're right there mate.

Depends on what service he gets, Deportivo were wank last season.

If we want him to score goals, we need to get a quality winger or two to supply the chances.

His goal tally for portugal u 20's and 21's is good mind

Tom Ince may be?

Targetman, doesn't get as much as goals as someone like Campbell would.

Any guesses you lot on what 2-3 current Bluebirds strikers will go else where on loan OR sold ???? Rudy, Mason, Venny or Smith

A good bit of business if true.

Has Oliveira enrolled his kids into Howells yet?

Someone said he's still a Virgin so i don't think so.

His stats aren't great but he is highly rated, He's made 10 appearances for Portugal so he can't be that bad?

Eti on season long loan to Porto too I reckon.

Not too impressed if this move is pulled off, but we can only hope to see the lad hit the potential he was showing at 18/19.

Fingers crossed.

Portuguese daily Record has suggested that Benfica striker Nelson Oliveira is set to join Premier League side Cardiff City.

Despite impressing while on loan at Deportivo La Coruna, the talented forward doesn’t seem to have a future at Estadio da Luz and he will be allowed to leave the club this summer.

According to Record, the Portugal international is set to join Cardiff City on a season-long loan, with the two clubs sorting out the final details of the transfer.

The Bluebirds have already signed striker Andreas Cornelius from FC Copenhagen, but they are hoping the Benfica forward will further increase competition for places in attack.

Nelson Oliveira came through the youth ranks at Estadio da Luz, but was never given a real chance to shine at Benfica, and had to prove his worth on loan spells at Rio Ave, Pacos de Ferreira and Deportivo La Coruna.

The 21-year-old is hoping to finally ensure some regular playing time, having made just four league starts over the last two seasons.

My brother lives in La coruna and is a season ticket holder. Here's what he said when I asked about him. Just a snippet of info. But my bro is pretty honest and knows his football.

'If he learnt to work harder he could be very good. Has moments of class and has one hell of a shot from outside the box. Needs to learn how to bully defenders considering how big he is.'

Sounds a bit like Bothroyd was my first thought
