Fulham extends Piazon loan deal from Chelsea until end of season

Fulham confirmed Tuesday that Lucas Piazon will remain with the club until the end of the season after agreeing to extend his loan deal from Chelsea.

Last week, the Brazilian forward confirmed the loan extension on Twitter, saying that he expected to remain with the club and that a deal would be reached Monday.

Although he had to wait an extra day, Piazon was all smiles when he put pen to paper on a new contract:

The 22-year-old's initial loan agreement expired after Saturday's 2-0 triumph over Barnsley.

Piazon has scored four goals after 17 matches with the Cottagers.
