Liverpool and Newcastle to battle for Brazilian winger this summer

Newcastle may face competition from Liverpool this summer in their pursuit of Kenedy.

The Brazilian attacker is currently on loan at St James’ Park and has established himself as a key member of Rafa Benitez’s first-team, adding an additional attacking dimension to the side.

His form has not gone unnoticed, however, and it seems a number of top clubs across Europe are interested in luring Kenedy away from his parent club, Chelsea.

The latest side to have been named as a potential destination for Kenedy is Liverpool, as per a report from the Chronicle.

It’s stated that the Reds, along with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich would like to land Kenedy this summer as he continues to impress during his loan spell with the Magpies.

Benitez will be desperate to tie up a deal for Kenedy on a permanent basis, but the prospect of featuring for a top European club will undoubtedly be an attractive one for the young Brazilian.
