Kenedy leaves Chelsea for Flamengo loan as Emerson nears Lyon move

Chelsea's Kenedy has officially joined Flamengo on a season-long loan, while Goal can also confirm left-back Emerson Palmieri is closing in on a loan move to Lyon.

Before departing, Kenedy extended his contract with Chelsea, the club he joined in 2015 from Fluminense.

Flamengo will pay Chelsea a €500,000 fee to take Kenedy on loan and hold a €10 million (£8.5m/$12m) option to purchase the Brazilian at season's end.

Kenedy's time at Chelsea

After joining from Fluminense in 2015, Kenedy has spent most of his time on Chelsea's books on loan at other clubs.
