Lucas Piazon
Lucas Piazon signed for Chelsea in 2011, with a senior work visa only being agreed upon the advent of his 18th birthday in January 2012, but allowing him to play for the reserves in the meantime.
The Brazilian performed well in his debut season, helping the Blues to an FA Youth Cup victory in 2012, and on a personal level, he was voted the Stamford Bridge club’s young player of the year for the same campaign.
Lucas Piazon has spent this term at Vitesse Arnhem, scoring 11 times and providing eight assists in his 23 Eredivisie appearances, and proving one of the most dangerous players in the Dutch top flight.
Next season, he may well earn his chance for Chelsea’s first team.
