Kenedy’s name may not carry much weight in global football just yet, but he is a player that Arsenal could potentially benefit from.
The Brazilian has been on the books at Chelsea since 2015 when he signed from Fluminense.
However, since then, the 22-year-old has had loan spells at Watford and Newcastle United.
The young player particularly impressed at St James’ Park when he signed for the Magpies in January.

During that spell, Kenedy featured 18 times in all competitions, scored three goals and created four assists.
The Brazilian was positioned on the left side of midfield by Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez, but he can also play as a wing-back or left-back.
Chelsea youngsters regularly struggle to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge, so Kenedy may feel that now is the best time to permanently cut ties with the West London outfit.
Under Arsene Wenger, full-backs were at times required to play as wing-backs, which would suit the Brazilian.
It remains to be seen, though, whether new manager Unai Emery plans to do the same.
If so, would Kenedy be a good option for the Gunners?
