Chelsea are on the brink of adding to their collection of talented Brazilians.
The Premier League champions are working on a deal with Fluminense for the right to sign Kenedy, sources tell Sky Sports.
Even if a deal is reached between the two clubs, Kenedy would likely begin his Chelsea career on loan before finding a permanent spot among Jose Mourinho's talented squad.
Kenedy, 19, would join fellow Brazilians Willian, Oscar, Ramires, Filipe Luis, Lucas Piazon, Nathan and Wallace if Chelsea are able to work out a deal.
