Eintracht Frankfurt are on the brink of signing Lucas Piazon from Chelsea on loan.

The Bundesliga side are looking for attacking reinforcements and are just one step away from securing the young Brazilian on a loan deal.

 



According to the Frankfurter Rundschau, all that is missing is Piazon's signature, to make the deal complete.

The Brazilian, who has been compared to countryman Kaka, spent last season on loan at Chelsea's partner club in Holland, Vitesse.

 


The 20-year-old, who operates on the left flank, made 29 appearances in the Eredivisie, scoring eleven goals and providing eight assists.
