Arsenal are interested in signing Kenedy from London rivals Chelsea when his loan spell at Newcastle ends, according to ESPN.
Kenedy has not been a favourite of Antonio Conte and has seriously struggled for game time at Stamford Bridge, but former Chelsea interim manager Rafa Benitez has given Kenedy a chance at Newcastle United, loaning him in for the second half of this season.
His impressive performances in a black and white shirt have made him a fan favourite already to the Toon Army and have also made him one of the first names on the team sheet.
His two goals and two assists so far for Newcastle along with his incredible performances have already attracted clubs wanting to bring him in on a permanent deal from Chelsea.
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly asked Chelsea to keep them updated if there is a possibility of bringing him to mainland Europe.
London rivals Tottenham Hotspur have also shown an interest in the Brazilian, and now so it seems have Arsenal. The two North London clubs will have to convince Chelsea to sell him to a domestic Premier League rival rather than sell him abroad.
Newcastle remain keen on taking Kenedy on a permanent deal but it looks like they’ll be facing serious competition for his signature.
