It is not clear why Manchester United would want Benfica striker Nelson Oliveira, but it is more than obvious why Chelsea and Manchester City would be interested.
Chelsea head in to Europe a striker short and a striker grumpy.
Both clubs are tracking the 21-year-old, who has scored two goals playing Deportivo la Coruna on a season-long loan.
According to a Daily Mail report , quoting sources in Spain, Manchester United are now tracking the player as well.
Chelsea – looking for that ‘Drogba presence’ would be the ones to most benefit from an Oliveira-type player - 6ft 1in.
The fact that Barcelona and Real Madrid are also aware of the player’s prowess suggests besides being a big striker, he has skill and speed to go with clinical finishing.
Oliveira’s is on loan at Deportivo La Coruna from Benfica.
