According to a report from Chronicle Live, Liverpool are interested in a summer swoop for Chelsea starlet Kenedy, who is currently playing for Newcastle United on loan.

The Brazilian has enjoyed a starring role for the Magpies this season and has essayed a key role in their success so far.

Despite being through a rollercoaster of ups and downs, Newcastle find themselves in 10th place and they are looking increasingly likely to finish the season in the top ten.

Given his performances, Newcastle would want to hold on to him but with interest stemming from Liverpool, it will be interesting to see how the situation plays out.

The 22-year-old occupies the left-hand side of the midfield area and he has scored 2 goals in 10 Premier League appearances for Newcastle. It is unsure as to whether or not Chelsea will be willing to keep him at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of this summer.

If they sanction a sale, Liverpool could benefit by making a summer move for him. Newcastle might have an upper hand since the player has already tasted life in Tyneside but surely, the prospect of European football will appeal to Kenedy.

Despite being one of Chelsea’s brightest young talents, Kenedy was allowed to join Newcastle on loan and it comes as no surprise that he has attracted attention from us.
