Chelsea youngster Lucas Piazon is at the centre of a transfer battle between three top European clubs.

The midfielder is currently on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from the Blues, where he has impressed.

Frankfurt have been so happy with his contribution so far this season that they have already expressed an interest in trying to bring the player in again next season.

But his solid start this year has also alerted Arsenal and Zenit, who join Everton in pursuing Piazon’s signature come the summer.

Zenit boss Andres Villas-Boas knows Piazon, onced dubbed “the new Kaka”, from their time at Chelsea together and is keen on a reunion.

The player himself has announced himself happy at Frankfurt, while also revealing he hopes to play for Chelsea’s first team one day.

“I feel good at Frankfurt. The Bundesliga is a great championship for a guy like me. I’m only 20 years old and ready for a new challenge.”

“I don’t disguise the fact that one day I would like to return to Chelsea and start playing there but I understand this won’t be easy.”

“However in football there are always surprises.”
