Report: Reims to move for Chelsea winger Lucas Piazon

Chelsea winger Lucas Piazon is wanted by Ligue 1 newcomers Reims on a permanent basis, according to a report.

The 24-year-old returned to Stamford Bridge during the summer following a two-year spell on loan with West London rivals Fulham.

Piazon may be on his way straight back out, however, as The Sun suggests that Reims - promoted to the French top flight at the end of last season - are targeting an initial loan deal with the right to make it permanent next year.

Maurizio Sarri is unlikely to give Piazon any first-team opportunities this term, with the Brazil Under-23s international featuring just three times for the Blues since joining from Sao Paulo in 2011.

Fulham opted against making an offer following their promotion to the Premier League, despite a tally of five goals in 14 league starts last time out.
