Chelsea
youngster Kenedy is close to joining Watford on a season-long loan, Sky
sources understand.
The 20-year-old left-sided forward is understood to be in talks over a move
to the fellow Premier League club to continue his development.
He joined the Blues from Brazilian side Fluminense in a £6.7m deal last
summer and immediately secured a work permit before featuring 20 times for
Chelsea last season.
The Brazil U20 international was used more by interim boss Guus Hiddink
towards the end of Chelsea's previous, troubled campaign but he appears to
be surplus to new manager Antonio Conte's requirements this season.
Kenedy was brought through the Fluminense academy and is considered one of
Brazil's brightest prospects.
Chelsea loaned out Michael Hector to Eintracht Frankfurt earlier on Sunday.
