Premier League champions Chelsea are on the verge of agreeing a deal to sign Sao Paulo starlet Lucas Piazon. However it is said that the deal will only take effect when the youngster turns 18.
Piazon, now age 17, has been hailed as the new Kaka, is set to join Chelsea, who reportedly beat off competition from Juventus for the services of the attacking midfielder.
Lucas Piazon is currently playing for Brazil in the South American Under-17 Championship.
The fee is unclear but reports suggest it could be anywhere from £5 million to £8 million.
Piazon’s signing would reaffirm Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich’s commitment to bringing more young players to the club in addition to splashing out on the likes of Fernando Torres and David Luiz when necessary.
