I have a good relationship with both players.Lukaku speaks good Portuguese. [LNB]'One day, (me and Lukaku) can play together and with Josh too, as he is an central-midfielder. It would be good to play with them, I have thought about this before.'[LNB] Summer signing: Romelu Lukaku has already been compared to Didier Drogba[LNB]Piazon says he has settled into life in London well and has been helped my Chelsea's Brazilians stars David Luiz, Alex and Ramires.[LNB]'The first month has been very good, I haven't had any problems staying here,' he said. 'My family was here for two weeks with me also, so it is very easy for me to stay in London. [LNB]'It is not difficult, it is similar to Brazil and I have many Brazilian friends here, it is good. I like it here.[LNB]'I train with the reserves most days, but sometimes with the first-team. More with the reserves, but sometimes we train all together. It's good experience too.[LNB]'I think the Brazilian player at Chelsea who has helped me the most is David Luiz. We are here in his house, with Julio [Lucas and David Luiz's agent]. Alex and Ramires are very good guys too, they have helped me in this last week as I was training with them. We are making good friendships.'[LNB] Bright future: Josh McEachran has featured twice for the first time this season[LNB]Piazon snubbed Juventus in favour of joining Chelsea and when asked why he chose England over Italy, he said: 'Because I like the Premier League.

'Maybe when I get a bit stronger and know better the difference between playing in Brazil and playing here in England. It is very different. [LNB]'Here, every player is expected to defend. In Brazil, we just play with the ball in midfield and in attack. At the beginning, this was my big problem here, so I need to practice a lot and then, I think in one year, or eighteen months, I will be ready to play in the Premier League.'[LNB] Chelsea striker Kalou demands more time playing before signing new deal Time's running out for Cech: Rookie Courtois casts doubt over keeper's future Big four on alert for Hazard as Lille accept ?40m hotshot will leave next summerChelsea 5 Genk 0: Torres at the double as Blues cruise past hapless Belgians For all the latest Chelsea FC news, features and opinion [LNB] [LNB]
