Where Forest signing Lucca stands among Premier League's tallest players

New Nottingham Forest signing Lorenzo Lucca could be one of the tallest players in the 2025/26 Premier League, with the Italian forward standing 2.01m tall, or 6ft 7in. 

Impressively, that's taller than Erling Haaland and Nick Woltemade, and the same height as Dan Burn and former Premier League striker Peter Crouch.

Forest have a habit of signing tall players in recent years.

In the summer of 2024 the club recruited Brazilian goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, who stands at 2.04m, or 6ft 8in tall, and Serbian centre-back Nikola Milenkovic, who stands at 1.95m, or 6ft 5in.
