Land Kenedy on-loan
Newcastle’s chase to sign Kenedy on-loan from Chelsea has stretched on throughout the January transfer window and a delay in the deal may well have provided an impact for the Magpies, who continue to lack depth in their ranks.
A crucial victory over Stoke City provided a boost but a draw to Swansea and defeat to Manchester City has provided a further blow, with Newcastle now in a difficult position ahead of a run of games where they face relegation rivals as well as Manchester United and Liverpool.
21-year-old Kenedy has earned first-team football with Chelsea this month but an exit seems likely. Newcastle need to conclude a deal swiftly and need to have him in their ranks for the midweek clash with Burnley next Wednesday.
