Premier League side Chelsea have announced the outgoing transfer of Brazilian winger Kenedy.

The official website of the Blues writes that Kenedy has today returned to Newcastle United on a season-long loan.

The Brazil U23 international spent the second half of last season on loan at the Magpies, scoring 2 goals in 13 appearances and helping the club avoid the drop.

Kenedy has made 27 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea since his arrival at Stamford Bridge in August 2015.

The 22-year-old played for Vasco da Gama and Fluminense in his native Brazil before moving to England.

Kenedy won the FUN88 player of the month award for March 2018.
