Luca Netz - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Transfers to Nottingham Forest Netz has completed a transfer to Nottingham Forest from Gladbach, according to his new club.

Impact Netz has made the move to England from Germany after a few years with Gladbach, as the young defender inks a deal with Forest until 2030. This comes as a great addition to the defense, as he is a left-back with promise, starting in 10 of his 15 appearances this season to go along with two assists. He will now have to compete for time in the defense with Neco Williams and Ola Aina at full-back, likely to begin with a rotational role but still seeing decent time.

Assists in cameo Netz assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim.

Impact Netz came off the bench simply for stoppage time and instead piled on the misery with a late assist, his first of the season.

Struggling for playing time Netz played 16 minutes off the bench and made three clearances in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Union Berlin.

Impact Netz has struggled to get on the pitch, with Joe Scally winning the starting job at left-back in training camp.

The full-back looked set for a breakout season after making 24 appearances (17 starts) at just 18 in the 2021/22 campaign, but has struggled to even get going. Any injury to Scally or Bensebaini would make Netz an immediately interesting option in all formats.
