Chelsea snap up Piazon

Breaking news in Brazil this evening suggests that long-term youth target Lucas Piazon has agreed to join Chelsea from Sao Paulo when he turns 18, for a reported fee of €10m.

The news has been confirmed by Sao Paulo themselves.

Touted as ‘the new Kaka’, Piazon was initially linked with a move to West London two years ago as a fifteen year-old, and has since gone on to impress in Sao Paulo’s youth teams.

He is set to travel to England at the end of the current international tournament for medical tests and to sign paperwork, before arriving at the end of the year after turning 18, in line with FIFA laws.
