AC Milan youth chief Pederzoli confirms interest for Chelsea target Lucas Piazon

AC Milan youth chief Mauro Pederzoli has confirmed they're chasing Sao Paulo superkid Lucas Piazon.

The 16 year-old is regarded in Brazil as the best young player to emerge since Real Madrid star Kaka, the former AC Milan hero.

Chelsea have been in talks with the Piazon family for some months, though Milan are also keen.

And Pederzoli confirmed to Milan.it: "He's a guy who we know well, we are following him and recognise him as important, but for now there's nothing more.

"He's still very young, we speak of a boy aged 15-16, we will continue to follow him."
