Lucas Piazon has signed a two-year Chelsea contract extension before rejoining Fulham on loan
Piazon will now re-join Championship side Fulham,
Lucas has made 33 appearances across all competitions during a successful loan stint in 2016-17 scoring six goals and provided four assists in total as Fulham had their Premier League promotion ended by Reading in the play-off semi-finals.
Lucas Piazon has now become the latest Blues player to sign a new deal before heading out on loan again. The Brazilian midfielder’s previous deal was going to expire next season, but he agreed a new two-year extension on Friday (14 July) that now keeps him under contract until 2020.
“I believe it is a very good move for me,” the 23-year-old said of his move back to Craven Cottage. “And I am very happy with the decision. There is a certain feeling of unfinished business.
“It felt like I must come back and help the team to reach what we were chasing last year, so it will be a very exciting season.
“This is the first time I will spend two seasons with a club. I am excited to see the boys and get back into training.”
Piazon has made just three senior appearances for Chelsea since arriving from Sao Paulo as an 18-year-old, all of which came back in 2012.
