Chelsea are on the verge of signing Fluminense wonder-kid Kenedy, according to recent reports. The 19-year-old striker is all set to be sold by his current club to an investment company who will further sell the young sensation to the Blues for a price of around £6m. Jose Mourinho wishes to add some new young talented players to the Premier League leaders, as he looks to build his squad for the future.
Though it does seem a complicated deal the Portuguese manager wants to finalize it soon. Latest reports have further stated that the west London side have fought-off interest from domestic rivals Manchester United to make a deal happen soon. Apart from United, La Liga outfit Barcelona were also interested in the youngster and wanted to bring him to the Nou Camp. Serie A side Inter Milan and current champions Juventus were keeping tabs on the youngster too and plans of signing him, who now looks set to move to Stamford Bridge.
