Chelsea scouting Nelson Oliveira

Chelsea's scouts have been monitoring Portuguese striker Nelson Oliveira. Andre Villas-Boas knows Oliveira well from his time in Portugal; Oliveira is ready to quit Benfica for a move to the Premier League.

Last season Oliveira spent time on loan at Pacos Ferreira, and during that time the 6 foot 1 striker impressed.

However, Oliveira mostly caught the eye in the U-20 World Cup of this year, in which Portugal finished second.

Oliveira scored four goals in that tournament, and Oliveira also collected the man of the match award twice.

Benfica would let Oliveira leave for a fee of 2.5m EUR.
