Forest unveil Lucca: ‘There’s a new Italian in Nottingham’ – video

Lorenzo Lucca introduced himself on social media as a new Nottingham Forest signing: ‘There’s a new Italian.’

Lucca has joined Nottingham Forest on loan with an option to buy from Napoli and was unveiled by his new club on social media on Friday.

Nottingham showed Lucca’s visit to the City Ground and some behind-the-scenes footage from his first day at the club.

“There’s a new Italian in Nottingham,” Lucca said.

“I’m Lorenzo Lucca and I play for Nottingham Forest. Ciao Reds!”

The Premier League club’s director, Edu Gaspar, said: “Lorenzo is a player who adds specific qualities to our team, and we are really pleased he has joined us. Having played at the top level in different countries, he arrives with a good blend of experience and scope to continue developing as a player.

“Everyone at the Club welcomes Lorenzo, and we are all looking forward to seeing the impact he can have for the rest of the season.”

Lucca reunites with his Italian compatriot Nicolò Savona, who joined Nottingham Forest on a permanent transfer from Juventus last summer.
