Benfica striker Oliveira hopeful of Swansea stay

Swansea City striker Nicolas Oliveira was delighted to score in victory at Newcastle United.

It was his first goal since his January arrival on-loan from Benfica.

Oliveira told WalesOnline: "It meant a lot to me because I needed this goal for more confidence. I felt relief because it was my first and after this it can be easier. I needed it because know I feel I have the confidence to be better.

"It would be good to stay but I am not thinking about it at the moment. The club know I'm happy here and know I will work hard for them, but we have four matches left and I will go into the games thinking about helping the team and not my future. Afterwards we can talk about it."
