Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte is delaying Kenedy’s impending loan move to Newcastle over concerns of the size of his squad.
Goal report that the Italian is cautious about letting the player leave as he struggles to bolster his squad this summer.
The Chelsea head coach is said to be in the market for another four players before the end of the window.
Kenedy is widely expected to leave Chelsea on loan this summer after being sent home from the club’s pre-season tour of Asia early. Despite that, the player was named on the substitute’s bench against Burnley on the opening day of the season with Conte lacking numbers.
The Brazilian posted what the club considered to be disrespectful messages towards China across social media.
Kenedy, who made just one appearance for Chelsea in the Premier League last season, spent half of the campaign at Watford, where injuries saw him fail to make an impact.
