Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Fluminense forward Kenedy.

According to Sky Sports, the Blues are near to finalising the capture of the 19-year old attacker who has been linked with a Stamford Bridge for some time.

Brazil U20 international Kenedy will join national teammate Nathan in west London after he joined the Premier League champions from Atletico Paranaense last month.

It is understood that Kenedy will be sent out on a season-long loan after putting pen to his Chelsea contract.
