Nottingham Forest Signs Lorenzo Lucca on Loan

Nottingham Forest has announced the signing of Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca, 25, from Napoli on a loan deal until the end of the current season.

This move comes just six months after Lucca joined Napoli from Udinese in a deal reportedly worth around €35 million, initially as a paid loan with an obligation to buy. However, the player struggled to make a significant impact at Napoli, scoring only two goals in 23 appearances across all competitions.

According to reports from the English press, Lucca's transfer to Nottingham Forest is a paid loan and includes an option for a permanent purchase of the player for approximately €40 million.

Nottingham Forest, currently 17th in the Premier League, is looking to strengthen its attacking line, especially with Chris Wood sidelined due to a knee injury. Lucca is seen as a potential addition to bolster the squad for the remainder of the season.
