Newcastle Will Attempt to Sign Loan Star Permanently if They Avoid Relegation

Newcastle United will attempt to complete the permanent signing of loan winger Kenedy in the summer, but only if they avoid relegation from the Premier League.

NUFC writer Chris Waugh answered questions on a podcast hosted by the Chronicle and gave his view on the proposition of the Magpies signing the Brazilian on a permanent deal.

Rafa Benitez has been impressed by Kenedy's performances since moving to St James' Park in January, and will try to convince Chelsea to let him leave the club permanently in the summer if Newcastle retain their Premier League status.
