Nottingham Forest reach agreement with Napoli to sign Lucca as Pisa wait on player’s wishes

Lorenzo Lucca could be set for a swift exit from Napoli just six months after arriving, with Nottingham Forest now close to finalising a deal with the Serie A side.

The striker joined Napoli last summer on loan from Udinese with an obligation to buy, but has struggled to establish himself in Antonio Conte’s plans.

Lucca found opportunities limited from early on, a situation that became even more complicated following the arrival of Rasmus Højlund in August, which further reduced his role in the squad.
