Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez has confirmed they're set to announce the signing of Kenedy.

The Brazilian winger will join the Magpies on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

Benitez said: “It is great news for us. It is still not done but it is very close to happening.

“He is a player with quality. You talk about Brazilian players they have quality.

“He is a nice lad and working hard for the team.

“So I think it is quite positive for the lads in the dressing room."
