Chelsea starlet Lucas Piazon heading to Malaga on loan

Chelsea midfield starlet Lucas Piazon is heading to Malaga on loan for the rest of the season, according to a Tweet from youth team Blues player Patrick Bamford.

Piazon was believed to be available for loan alongside fellow Chelsea midfielder Marko Marin this January transfer window, as the club looks to free up space for incoming players.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with Marouane Fellaini in recent days as well as Malaga sensation Isco who is rated as one of the top young players in Europe.

There is already speculation that Lucas Piazon’s arrival at Malaga on loan is somehow connected to a potential future transfer of Isco to Stamford Bridge.

Individual highlights of Lucas Piazon’s cameo display in Chelsea’s rout of Aston Villa is on the video below. “The new Kaka” impressed despite missing a penalty in the 8-0 win.
