According to Fabrizio Romano, Forest are in talks with Napoli over a loan deal for the striker, with \u00a31 million being paid in the way of a loan fee and the Reds holding an option to buy him for \u00a330 million in the summer. <\/p>\n
Lucca has struggled this season, scoring once in 16 games for Napoli, and quite clearly, the reigning champions are willing to cash in on the player. <\/p>\n
Last season, the 25-year-old enjoyed a standout campaign at Udinese, scoring 14 goals and registering two assists, with 10 yellow cards also coming his way. <\/p>\n
Lucca is now mulling over a move to the Premier League, with Forest moving first to land the player who has previously been linked with Everton and Crystal Palace. <\/p>\n
How many goals will Lorenzo Lucca score this season if Nottingham Forest sign him? <\/p>\n

Lucca disobeyed his manager last season<\/p>\n
Last season, Lucca wanted to take a penalty during a 1-0 victory over Lecce, but his manager told him not to, with the striker doing what he wanted and taking the penalty ahead of the original taker. <\/p>\n
After disobeying his manager and captain, Lucca was immediately substituted off the pitch, which caused a minor rift between him and his head coach. <\/p>\n
Lucca does feel like the ideal player for a Sean Dyche system, with most of his goals last season coming with his head, with the Forest boss liking his teams to get the ball into the box. <\/p>\n
This deal feels like a positive one for Forest and with no mandatory purchase option, it feels as though this is a low-risk deal that the Reds can do this month. <\/p>\n
