Chelsea midfielder Kenedy has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Arsenal.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich had asked to be kept up to date regarding the availability of the Brazilian, who may be deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Kenedy is currently impressing during a loan spell at Newcastle United and according to ESPN, it has resulted in Arsenal taking an interest in the player's signature.

The 22-year-old has contributed two goals and two assists in eight outings for the Magpies, and it appears likely to result in a hotly-contested battle to sign the wideman during the summer.

Kenedy still has two years remaining on his contract with Chelsea, but he has made just five starts for the Blues in the Premier League since his arrival in 2015.
