ESPN Brasil have claimed Arsenal have contacted Chelsea over a move for Brazilian winger Kenedy, as he continues to shine on loan at Newcastle United.

Kenedy was given next to nothing at Stamford Bridge by Antonio Conte and has been shipped out on loan to St. James’ Park, where he has become the Toon’s savior in a fight against the drop.

His form has been so good that he has proved an integral part in pushing the Toon into 10th place, well beyond expectations after scoring two goals and providing two assists in eight league games.

Given the freedom to shine with the Magpies, Kenedy has shown his real talent rather than being restricted by Conte and it has alerted some of Europe’s best sides.
