Chelsea winger Kenedy has joined Newcastle United on a season-long loan deal for the 2018/19, according to BBC Sport. The 22-year-old has returned to Tyneside following an impressive temporary spell in the second half of last season for Rafa Benitez's side.

During his four months stay in Newcastle, Kenedy started 13 games and racked up two goals and two assists respectively as The Magpies finished 10th in the Premier League.

The Brazilian attracted the interest of foreign suitors this transfer window but the Blues have decided to hang on to him and send him back North.

Kenedy has featured in just 27 games for the Blues in his three-year stint and has failed to keep hold of his place in the first team.

He had been utilized in a left wing-back role by former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte in cup competitions previously and was loaned out to Watford two season ago but his loan spell was cut short due to a nasty injury and was forced to return to West London immediately to work on his rehabilitation.
