For Lucas Piazon, a fresh start has become an annual experience, as it has for many players in the loan crowd at Chelsea.
This year Piazon has joined Fulham, a club close to home and full of ambition and he hopes it will be the one to launch his career in England.
The young Brazilian is at Craven Cottage until January with an option to extend the deal until the end of the season.
By then, there will be only a year on his Chelsea contract and, if Antonio Conte does not want him, the Brazil Under 23 international will seek a move to a place where he can put down roots and develop his career.
