Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of Benfica forward Nelson Oliveira on a season-long loan.

The 24-year-old has scored one goal in 14 appearances for Portugal.

Oliveira spent the second half of last season on loan at Swansea City, scoring one goal in 11 games for the Premier League club.
