Chelsea's Brazilian midfielder Lucas Piazon has been sent out on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt for the season.

This won't be the first time the 20-year-old has been sent out on loan to gain experience, having previously had spells at Malaga and most recently Vitesse Arnhem.

Frankfurt's sporting director Bruno Hubner spoke of his delight at signing Piazon, saying: "We are glad to be able to reach an agreement after lengthy but very fair negotiations with Chelsea."

Hubner went on to claim that the Brazilian will strengthen the Bundesliga side, being able to play anywhere across the midfield.
