TBR Football can exclusively confirm that Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham are interested in Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca.
The Toffees, the Eagles and the Hammers are all likely to be busy in the summer transfer window as they look to have better campaigns in 2025/26.
Everton and West Ham are especially in need of bringing in new forwards over the coming months.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks set to leave Everton on a free transfer, while West Ham have long needed more firepower.
Both sides, along with Crystal Palace, have identified Lucca as a potential signing over what he could bring to their respective squads.

What Lorenzo Lucca could bring to Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has confirmed that Everton, Palace and West Ham have all been watching Lucca over the past month.
Lucca’s form for Udinese in recent months has seen him catch the eye of scouts across Europe, with the 24-year-old now in double figures in Serie A.
Lucca stands 6ft 7in tall -the same height as Peter Crouch – and is superb in the air and strong, along with having an eye for goal.
Jacek Kulig has likened Lucca to Italy legend Luca Toni and described him as “an absolute king of the penalty area” and “the complete package”.
Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye recently sung Lucca’s praises on the Italian Football Podcast.
“For me, he is already a top-level striker, but like myself, we are young and we have to work on a lot of stuff,” he said.
“I’m sure he will be there [top-level] sooner or later. He has all the qualities, the special height not every striker is two metres tall.
“And still, he has the ability of a striker who is not that tall. He’s a very special player.”
Lorenzo Lucca’s transfer stance
Lucca seems keen on trying his luck abroad, recently suggesting he’d be open to a move away from Serie A.
In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, he said: “I have grown physically, technically and mentally.
“Abroad I see more goals. Serie A is difficult but it is a challenge that gives me adrenaline. I am the master of my destiny.”
It has also been reported that Udinese are open to cashing in on their star striker for a fee in the region of £29million.
