Player Info
Nelson Oliveira is a seasoned Portuguese striker currently leading the line for Primeira Liga side Vitoria Guimaraes. The 34-year-old forward has been a familiar figure in Portuguese football for over a decade, known for his physical strength and clinical finishing. Oliveira's career began at Benfica, with his early promise leading to loan spells at clubs like Rio Ave and Deportivo La Coruna to gain experience. He secured a permanent move to English side Norwich City in 2016, where he showcased his ability in the Championship. After further spells in Greece and Poland, he returned to Portugal, finding a consistent home at Vitoria Guimaraes. While his trophy cabinet includes a Portuguese league title from his early Benfica days, his individual contribution has often been measured in vital goals. A robust and traditional number nine, Oliveira uses his 186cm frame to hold up play and is a constant aerial threat, remaining a key veteran presence for his club.
