Newcastle boss Benitez tells Chelsea: Kenedy more of an attacker

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez says he sees Kenedy in an attacking role.

Kenedy is on-loan to the end of the season from Chelsea.

“He has been playing as a wing-back for Chelsea. He can play there," Benitez said.

“But I saw him playing for Fluminense as a right-winger and as a left-winger. For the Brazil Under-20s he was also playing both sides.

“He can play in different positions because he has the quality, the crossing ability and the finishing to do any of these positions. Hopefully he can give us even more in attack."
