Newcastle need to hurry to sign Benitez target, as club official set to fly to London

Fanatik report that Chelsea will allow Kenedy to join the club of his choosing, on loan, before the window closes.

Kenedy has been linked with moves to Fernerbahce and Newcastle United in recent days, and now things should speed up.

Fenerbahce manager Aykut Kocaman is looking to sign a left back this summer, and Chelsea’s Kenedy is an option for the Turkish side. Rafael Benitez has also been credited with interest in the Brazilian, and this could be a straight battle between Newcastle and Fenerbahce.

Newcastle will need to speed up their efforts to sign Kenedy, if they want to shake off the Turkish interest. Claims in England of Benitez being keen, and even having met the player recently, have been used to push the Newcastle option and a potential battle with Fener. 

Kenedy looks surplus to requirements at Chelsea, and upset the club during the recent China tour.
