Lorenzo Lucca, a towering Italian striker who grew up dreaming of playing in England, is set to make his mark at Nottingham Forest after a challenging spell at Napoli. Having played for eight clubs across Italy and the Netherlands, Lucca arrives in Nottingham hoping to revive his career and fulfill his Premier League ambitions. Known for his technical ability and surprising pace for his height, Lucca brings a different profile to Forest's attack, with hopes that his presence will help the team capitalize on their frequent crosses into the box.

Despite a difficult season at Napoli, where he struggled to establish himself, Lucca has impressed early at Forest with his attitude and work ethic. Manager Sean Dyche and teammates believe he can offer something unique, and fans have already given him the affectionate nickname 'Pizza Crouch' after the legendary English striker. As he competes for a starting spot, Lucca is determined to prove he can be the centre-forward Forest needs.
