Lucas Piazon remains keen to make his mark at Chelsea, but is open to the prospect of a permanent move to Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Brazilian forward signed for Chelsea from Sao Paulo in 2011, but has made just three first-team appearances during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Following previous loan spells at Malaga and Vitesse Arnhem, the 20-year-old is spending this season in the Bundesliga with Frankfurt.

Piazon is hoping to benefit from further first-team experience in Germany after acknowledging the difficulty of securing regular football at Chelsea.

"I wish to play at Chelsea,” Piazon told BILD. “But football is a surprise and everything can change quickly.

"I’m only 20 and anything can happen. If everything fits, I could stay in Frankfurt.

"Chelsea has so many very good players and currently it is difficult for me to find a place.

"I think it’s normal (to go on loan). Chelsea has so many very good players and it would currently be difficult for me to find a place. Here I can play and gain experience."
