Kenedy not ruling out Newcastle return this summer

Kenedy has refused to rule out a return to Newcastle following a fruitful loan spell with the Magpies during the second half of the season.

The Brazilian signed for Rafa Benitez’ side in January and was an influential figure on the pitch, helping the club finish in a very respectable tenth place.

Benitez has already reiterated his desire to bring the 22-year old back to Tyneside next season, whether by means of another loan or through a permanent transfer.

Now back at Chelsea, Kenedy spoke about his spell with the Magpies ahead of the Blues upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United. He said, as reported by Chronicle Live;

I was glad to come here to Newcastle, one of the biggest clubs in England, and I really appreciated the chance to play.

I’d like to thank Rafa Benítez because he trusted in me. I really enjoyed my time here – it was very good. All the players, all the staff, they made me feel at home. I felt good. I gained confidence from the amazing support and I really enjoyed it. Maybe one day I will be back

The player’s long-term future at Chelsea is unclear with Antonio Conte set to depart the club this summer. The Brazilian had fallen out of favour under the Italian during his time at Chelsea.
