It’s common knowledge that Manchester United are in the market for a striker this summer, looking to upgrade from the current options of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
The pair have scored a combined 14 goals and seven assists in 85 games, with six of the goals coming against teams either in the relegation zone or lower-ranked teams in Europe like Bodo/Glimt and Viktoria Plzen.
As such, a consistent striker is needed who can deliver against top teams, with prolific goalscorers like Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Jonathan David being linked to the club.
However, a new target rising quickly up United’s shortlist is Udinese star Lorenzo Lucca.
The Italian striker has been in fine form scoring 12 goals and grabbing two assists in 32 games.
However United aren’t the only Premier League side interested in the striker, with Everton entering the race.

Everton look to sign Lorenzo Lucca this summer
Give Me Sport has reported that The Toffees are keen to make Lucca their first signing for the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Despite firm interest from Everton, United are continuing to monitor the 6ft 7in attacker ahead of Ruben Amorim’s first full season in charge.
It’s already been revealed that Udinese are open to selling their frontman for only £25 million, with the price tag being within reach for both Everton and United.
However, United still have some reservations about signing the striker, leading to Everton having a slight edge in the race at this time.
