Former Newcastle United loanee Kenedy has stunned supporters by sporting a new Jesus Christ head tattoo. Astonishingly, the Brazilian only left Chelsea last summer after seven years at the club.
His time at Stamford Bridge resulted in just 16 Premier League appearances - and six loan spells. Two of those were at Newcastle United under Rafa Benitez, with the first of those successful enough to inspire a return the following summer.
However, Kenedy failed to reproduce the same spark in 2018-19 and was ultimately sent back to Chelsea disillusioned. Since then, he has become somewhat of a journeyman, with two loan spells in La Liga and one in his native country at Flamengo.

Real Valladolid took a punt on the 27-year-old last year once his Blues contract expired but, due to a string of injuries, he has only played 81 minutes of league football following the move. But that has not stopped Kenedy from grabbing the headlines for his off-field antics.
Valladolid posted a picture of the winger in training - with fans puzzled by his new look. Kenedy, already heavily tattooed, appears to have faced the needle again as he donned a new Jesus tattoo on his head.
Perhaps he is asking for strength to help heal multiple injuries and resurrect a stalled career. The ex-Toon star is back in training after a lengthy layoff, with Valladolid set to take on Real Madrid next.
