According to L’Equipe, Chelsea attacking-midfielder Lucas Piazon could leave the club on loan. The Sun say ‘talks have begun’ with newly-promoted Ligue 1 side Reims who could agree a deal that could become permanent next summer. With Piazon unlikely to get playing time under new boss Maurizio Sarri, a move away from Stamford Bridge could ensue.
The 24-year-old joined Chelsea from Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo in 2012 and has gone on to make just three appearances in all competitions. The lack of playing time for the Blues led to Piazon embarking on a number of loan moves to Malaga (14 appearances), Vitesse Arnhem (31 appearances, 11 goals), Eintracht Frankfurt (23 appearances, two goals), Reading (27 appearances, five goals) and Fulham (58 appearances, 12 goals) most recently.
