Derby County are not thought to be in for Norwich City striker Nelson Oliveira, the Derby Telegraph understands.

HITC Sport claimed an £8m offer had been tabled for the Portuguese forward.

Derby currently have five first-team strikers on their books in David Nugent, Sam Winnall, Matej Vydra, Chris Martin and Darren Bent.

There has been interest in Martin and Bent, but manager Gary Rowett has said today that the club is in "no massive rush” to make any moves.

Former Forest man Oliveira, who scored a hat-trick for Norwich against Derby last season, has scored seven goals in 22 appearances for the Canaries this campaign.

Vydra is Derby's record signing at £8m-plus and Rowett has said consistently that they have to look to trim a top-heavy squad.

Rams chairman Mel Morris told the Derby Telegraph in a recent interview: “"Gary knows we have to be tighter with the budget this year because we have FFP that we have to be mindful of. Gary understands what we need to try to do with the club. He has the options to do some loan business, if he wants to. If he can trim the size of the squad down, he has got a chance to do things.”
