Nottingham Forest have scored the second lowest number of goals this Premier League season.
With a lot of their attackers struggling for consistency, Sean Dyche’s side undoubtedly need help.
Earlier this week, Gianluca di Marzio reported Nottingham Forest are a candidate for Napoli’s Lorenzo Lucca. The Italian was also attracting attention from Benfica, as he aims to return to goalscoring ways.
Il Mattino – relayed by Il Mio Napoli, report there is a real possibility of Lucca joining another club in January.
Despite Nottingham Forest’s advances, the player is cold on the possibility of moving to England. He has informed his entourage about wanting to stay in Italy.
This will also come as a blow to Porto and Benfica, who are now fading away in the background. AS Roma and their rivals Lazio are still interested.
The situation can now end up favouring them.
This will come as a disappointment for Nottingham Forest but Lucca has not found his feet at Napoli after arriving from Udinese. Dyche’s side would prefer proven goal-scorers and the 25-year-old hasn’t shown signs of being one this season.
Nottingham Forest can now move to other options, and there’s a few strikers available on the market this month.
