Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez was close to signing him during the summer transfer window and remained interested.

The move will give Kenedy, 21, the chance to play first-team football for the remainder of the campaign as his first-team chances at Chelsea have been limited. 

He has not featured in the Premier League this season, with all five of his appearances coming in cup competitions.
