Newcastle sign Kenedy on loan from Chelsea

The Brazilian, who has won caps at youth level, will hope to break into the first-team at St James' Park

Newcastle have signed young Brazilian Kenedy from Chelsea on loan, the club have confirmed.

The 21-year-old has made a mere five appearances for the Blues this season, and will now attempt to break into the first-team at St James' Park.

Kenedy can play as both a midfielder and a left-back, and has won 22 caps for Brazil at youth level.

Chelsea also chose to send Kenedy on loan last season, to Watford, and Antonio Conte believes the move up north could work wonders.
