Manchester United look set to miss out on the winger

Fluminense youngster Kenedy is undergoing a medical at Chelsea, before completing a £6.3 million move, according to reports.

The Mail are reporting that the Blues will beat rivals Manchester United, plus Juventus and Wolfsburg for the highly rated Brazil under 20 international.

Kenedy has been on Chelsea‘s radar for a while now, who were reportedly close to agreeing a deal back in May.

Now ESPN say that the player will sign a 5 year contract in West London, but looks likely to be immediately shipped out on loan to gain experience.

Fluminense announced the news two weeks ago that Kenedy had been sold to an investment company, in charge of negotiating his transfer to the Premier League champions.

The 19-year-old will become Jose Mourinho‘s second Brazilian signing of the summer, joining Nathan, who put pen to paper two months ago.

He is naturally left footed, but prefers to cut in from the right wing and create opportunities.

There is now a large contingent of Brazilian players at Stamford Bridge, with Oscar, Ramires, Filipe Luis, Willian, Wallace, Lucas Piazon, and Nathan all contracted to the club.
