Piazon questions 'business' of Chelsea loan system & reveals Fulham regret

Lucas Piazon has questioned the “business” of loaning players out at Chelsea, with the Brazilian relieved to have finally got out of Stamford Bridge and secured himself a permanent move to Braga.

The 26-year-old midfielder was snapped up by the Blues in 2011 and would spend close to 10 years tied to the Premier League heavyweights.

He took in only three competitive appearances across that decade, with much of his time spent outside of west London.

A first loan spell was sanctioned in 2013, as he headed to Malaga, and six more would follow across the next seven years.
