# Kenedy set to seal season-long loan move to Newcastle

Chelsea winger Kenedy is closing in on a season-long loan move to Newcastle United, according to reports.

According to claims from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5931005/Chelsea-winger-Kenedy-set-sign-season-long-loan-Newcastle.html), the exciting Brazilian youngster will spend next season on loan with Rafa Benitez’s side after enjoying a strong second half to the last campaign at St James’ Park.

Kenedy joined the Magpies on a short-term temporary deal from Chelsea in January and went on to impress, establishing himself as something of a fans’ favourite.

However, it was unclear as to whether or not he would return for the 2018/19 season, be it on a temporary or permanent basis.

It seems as though Kenedy’s move to Newcastle is set to be confirmed in the near future, though, with the Daily Mail indicating that a deal has been wrapped up.

Following such an impressive spell up north, Kenedy was courted by a number of top European clubs, including Bayern Munich and PSG.

Chelsea are well-stocked with attacking options and it seems Kenedy is surplus to requirements ahead of next season.
