Chelsea and United target dismisses move to England
Striker Nelson Oliveira insists that he is happy at Deportivo la Coruna despite being linked with a move to either Chelsea or Manchester United, according to Talk Sport.
Oliveira has joined the La Liga newcomers on loan from Benfica in search of some regular first-team football.
Although the 21-year-old’s goal scoring record of 10 goals in 70 career appearances is less than impressive, it his is potential to develop into a dangerous aerial threat that has attracted interest from major European clubs and in particular, the Premier League.
The Portuguese target man, who came on as a substitute in nearly every Portugal game during Euro 2012, says that for now he just wants to focus on playing for Deportivo: “I do not think about the rumours leaving because I am good at Coruna.
“I am focused on having a good season here. The season has started now and I am not paying any interest to the news I could leave,” he added.

Oliveira was perhaps one of the surprise selections for Euro 2012 after being included following an impressive under-20 World Cup display which saw him voted as the second best player of the tournament.
