Newcastle United are believed to be keen on signing Chelsea youngster Kenedy.

Newcastle United fans are concerned that Kenedy will not be a good enough upgrade to make a difference at St. James’ Park.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Newcastle are set to make Kenedy their first signing in the January transfer window.

The Magpies are keen to snap up the Brazilian, who they almost signed in the summer.

But Newcastle fans are not convinced that Kenedy will change their fortunes.

Newcastle have failed to win any of their last nine matches, and have slipped into the relegation zone.

There are now serious concerns that Benitez’s side could be relegated, unless they get their recruitment right in January.

And Newcastle supporters do not believe that Kenedy will offer them much, if he does sign up.

Kenedy only has a limited amount of first-team experience, as he has been a reserve player since moving to Chelsea back in 2015.

The 21-year-old, who can play anywhere down the left-hand side, has made just six senior appearances in the last two seasons.

If Kenedy was to move to Newcastle he would be in competition with the likes of Javier Manquillo and Paul Dummett for a starting place.
