Barcelona to rekindle interest in Chelsea youngster

 

Barcelona are considering reigniting their interest in Chelsea youngster Kenedy, according to Mundo Deportivo.

 

The reigning European champions tracked Kenedy, 20, for several years during his time at Brazilian club Fluminense and the Catalonian outfit even acquired a first-choice option on the versatile forward.

 

Kenedy, however, eventually joined Chelsea in 2014 and Barcelona were not prepared to match their bid after shelling out £75m on Luis Suarez that summer.

 

However, Luis Enrique’s side have seemingly been impressed with Kenedy’s performances in the first-team this season, even though he has been regularly deployed in an unfamiliar left-back role under Guus Hiddink.

The Brazilian scored his first Chelsea goal in just his ninth league appearance when they beat Norwich 2-1 at the start of March, where he also picked up the WhoScored man of the match award.
