Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs said to have taken a shine to the versatile Chelsea player, who is on loan at Newcastle United until the summer.
Tottenham Hotspur fans are reacting on Twitter after their side was credited with interest in Newcastle United’s on-loan Chelsea winger Kenedy.
The Northern Echo reported earlier this week that Tottenham are ‘understood to be keeping a close eye’ on Kenedy‘s performances for Newcastle.
The Brazilian has impressed since making the move north in January – scoring two goals and creating as many in his eight Magpies outings.
But is his Magpies form enough to convince Spurs fans he’d be a worthwhile recruit? Here’s what they’re saying…
It has been speculated that Tottenham could sell left-back Danny Rose in the summer transfer window, while the unimpressive Georges-Kevin Nkoudou is Mauricio Pochettino’s only left wing option heading into next season.
And Kenedy’s ability to play both roles comfortably could be a significant plus for the Argentine manager.
The problem Spurs are likely to face however is convincing Chelsea to sell to a team that must now be considered among their main rivals, especially with Kenedy’s contract having another two years left to run.
And with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain also linked this week, Newcastle may have to make the most of him while they still can.
