Newcastle United have benefitted vastly from the performances of on-loan Chelsea ace Kenedy during the second-half of the season and are reportedly ready to initiate talks with the Blues regarding a permanent deal.
The Brazil starlet has excelled during his time on Tyneside, provided an injection of quality into the final third, and The Northern Echo reports Newcastle are ready to initiate talks amidst growing interest in the 22-year-old.
Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are amongst those who have reportedly joined the hunt for the South American talent and Newcastle fear that Chelsea will play a waiting game, looking to take advantage of the emerging battle for his signature.
Rafael Benitez recently confirmed that Newcastle were keen on a permanent deal in January but Chelsea insisted on a temporary switch initially, though he seems confident of the club’s chances of securing his services this summer.
Kenedy has made nine appearances for Newcastle since his switch in the mid-season transfer window, having only appeared on five occasions for Chelsea in his two-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge.
