England outfits ready to battle for the signature of forgotten Chelsea man

Championship side Norwich and Stoke City are ready to bring out-of-favour Chelsea playmaker Lucas Piazon back to England for at least the reminder of the season.

Regarded as the new ‘Kaka’ when he arrived in 2012, Lucas Piazon has not been able to break into the Chelsea team as he has been forced to go out on loan.

The Brazilian is currently on his second consecutive season loan at Rio Ave, and Chelsea are reportedly ready to bring him back so he can join another team.

Piazon has so far made a total of 34 appearances in all competitions for the Portuguese top-flight club, scoring six goals and providing two assists.

With top clubs ready to pounce on a deal, TuttoMercatoWeb has claimed that Norwich and Stoke City are both interested in signing the winger during the January transfer window.

The 26-years-old contract with Chelsea will expire at the end of this season and the blues are eager to make profit off his deal with Bordeaux in France also linked as one of the clubs are ready to sign him.

Piazon has previously both played for both Fulham and Reading in the Championship and he will not be having any issue settling down if he makes the move back to England.
