Fluminese forward Kenedy is set to sign for Chelsea for £6.3 million, according to The Daily Star.

The Brazilian starlet has reportedly agreed a 5-year-deal at Stamford bridge despite interest from Manchester United and Barcelona.

Kenedy follows fellow Brazilian Nathan to Chelsea who signed from Atletico Paranaense in May.

Fluminese announced last month that Kenedy had been sold to an investment company and they are arranging his move to Chelsea.

The signing should be completed this week but Kenedy is expected to be sent out on loan once the deal is finalised.
