Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez has told fans to enjoy watching Kenedy "while he's here".

The Brazilian, on loan from Chelsea, scored twice in United's 3-0 win over Southampton on Saturday.

His performances have impressed Benitez, but the Spaniard isn't sure Chelsea will allow the winger to join Newcastle on a permanent basis.

"It's more than his energy and pace, he is a player who is comfortable on the ball," Benitez replied when asked why Kenedy had made such a difference to his Newcastle side.

"His delivery, his crosses and set pieces - he is somebody who is different and he is a player playing with confidence now.

"His goals will help that. We already had a bit of pace with [Christian] Atsu and [Jacob] Murphy, and the ability and workrate of [Matt] Ritchie, but Kenedy is good on the ball, he does not give it away easily and he gives us more control.

"I have no idea if there is a chance we can keep him after the end of the season, I think at the moment we have to make sure we enjoy him while he is here."
