Wolverhampton Wanderers eyeing move for Norwich City forward Nelson Oliveira?

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly identified Norwich City frontman Nelson Oliveira as a potential transfer target.

While Wolves sit nine points clear at the top of the Championship standings, head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has been left to rely on Leo Bonatini as his only experienced striker.

A number of forwards have been linked with a switch to Molineux and according to The Sun, Portuguese compatriot Oliveira is on Nuno's shortlist.

Oliveira is regarded highly in the second tier of English football but the 26-year-old has only netted seven times in 20 appearances for a struggling Canaries side this season.

The player could also attract interest from elsewhere, but it has been suggested that agent Jorge Mendes could have a part to play in taking the frontman to the West Midlands.

Oliveira still has two and a half years remaining on his contract at Carrow Road.
