Fulham have signed Brazilian midfielder Lucas Piazon on loan from Chelsea on a six-month loan deal.

The Cottagers announced the 22-year-old’s arrival from their west London neighbours on Wednesday evening.

Piazon joined Chelsea in 2011 and has had loan spells at Malaga, Vitesse Arnhem, Eintracht Frankfurt and Reading. He made 27 appearances and scored five goals, including one at Craven Cottage, for the Royals last season.
