Lucas Piazon will this weekend turn his attention to where he wants to play on loan this season with Liverpool and Crystal Palace among those waiting for a decision.

The 19-year-old Chelsea winger has been told by Jose Mourinho that he needs one more year of development at another club before he is ready to compete for a first team place at Stamford Bridge.

Having spent six months at Malaga last season, both Chelsea and Piazon are keen that his next spell should be in the Premier League to prepare him better for the rigours of English football.

Already Brendan Rodgers and Ian Holloway are understood to have expressed an interest.

For the moment, Piazon is focusing 100 per cent on Chelsea's "Here to play, here to stay" tour of the Far East, which concludes today with a game in Jakarta against BNI Indonesia All Stars.

Speaking at a community project in the city to bring first-class coaching to the nation's children, the Brazilian said: "To be fair, I think I am too young to be playing at Chelsea. So I'm fine. It's hard to break into this Chelsea team. It's good for me to be going out on loan.

"Last season I stayed half the season at Chelsea and half at Malaga. It was good for me to play in La Liga and the Champions League. In this next season I will try to stay in the Premier League - it's important for me to stay in England and get used to the league where Chelsea play. English football is different to Spanish and I need to get used to the physical side.

"So it is important to find the right club before the start of the season. When I went to Malaga it was in the middle of the season. The manager knew all the players but he didn't know me well. It was a bit difficult. I would prefer to have time to get to know the team.

"But I have no idea where I will go. I told everyone I would concentrate on this part of pre-season and I will talk about it with my dad when I get back to England at the weekend."
