Wolves are interested in securing a deal for AEK Athens striker Nelson Oliveira during the January transfer window.

According to Greek outlet Sport FM, Wolves are keen to land the talisman before the window slams shut and have held talks over a deal for the player.

Oliveira signed for the Greek side in the summer from Norwich City. Wolves did previously hold interest in the forward back in 2018 (Sun).

It is reported that the 28-year-old has a £5.5 million (Sport Witness) release clause in his contract with the Greek outfit.

Oliveira is a Jorge Mendes client and it would seem that is where the Wolves link is emerging from.

The superagent has helped the Molineux-based outfit sign several players in recent years and Oliveira could be the next.

If Wolves can land him they would get themselves a player bang in form.

He has scored 10 goals and registered six assists from his 20 appearances and he could prove a decent addition to the Wolves team.

Oliveira already has experience of English football. He has turned out for Swansea, Nottingham Forest, Reading and the Canaries.

TBR View – Oliveira seems like a no-brainer as a result of his track record

Okay so the Portuguese striker has just 10 games with Swansea under his belt in the Premier League.

For just £5.5 million though he could prove a shrewd addition to the Wolves squad.

He is quick, intelligent and leads the line well. His goal record at both Norwich and in Athens also highlights that he is a capable performer in front of goal.

Wolves fans will hope that other players are added as well as Oliveira but the chance to add another player to a small squad isn’t a bad thing.
