Lucas Piazon has blasted Chelsea for loaning out him SEVEN times in nine years.

The Brazilian winger joined the Blues in 2011 from Sao Paulo for a fee reported to be worth around £10million.

But Piazon, 26, only ever made three senior appearances for Chelsea, all coming in 2012.

Piazon then took in loans at Malaga, Vitesse Arnhem, Eintracht Frankfurt, Reading, Fulham, Chievo and Rio Ave before being recalled by Chelsea this month.

But with just six months left on his deal, Piazon was only being brought back in order to sell him to Braga on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

Piazon told Oh My Goal: “When I turned 18, I was on the bench for the first time under Andre Villas-Boas and then the season finished.

“And then it wasn’t him anymore, it was Roberto Di Matteo. In the beginning I felt Chelsea really wanted me and really wanted me to do well and come back.

“But after the third or fourth loan, I knew it was just maybe business.

“[At different clubs] it’s always a big change and it takes time. You have to be patient but when you’re on loan there’s none. The pressure on you to perform is huge because you are from Chelsea.”
