Chelsea Loan Out Brazilian Winger, Subject To Medical

Published: January 23, 2018

Newcastle United are on the verge of announcing the signing of Chelsea winger Kenedy, subject to a traditional medical.

The Sun has published pictures of the Brazilian arriving the North East on Monday night to seal his loan move until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old has not made a single Premier League appearance for Chelsea in the current season, but has been utilized by manager Antonio Conte in five matches in the League and FA Cups.

The Fluminense product was acquired by Chelsea in 2015 before joining Watford on loan the following season.

Kenedy has played for Brazil's U17, U20 and U23 national teams, scoring seven goals in total.

He has a contract with Chelsea until the end of the 2019-2020 season.
