Fulham have signed Brazilian midfielder Lucas Piazon on loan from Chelsea until Jan. 15, 2017.

The Cottagers announced the 22-year-old's arrival from their west London neighbours on Wednesday evening.

"Fulham Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Lucas Piazon on loan from Chelsea until January 2017,'' a story on Fulham's official website read.
