Chelsea can use Leeds' interest in Kenedy to help in their transfer pursuit of Brazilian compatriot Raphinha who could be the player to solve some of the Blues' current attacking woes.
Kenedy, 25, returned to his parent club earlier this month as the search for Ben Chilwell's temporary replacement looks to have collapsed, with Emerson Palmieri no closer to re-joining the squad, football.london understands.
“We cannot say Kenedy is the solution. He can be the solution but the situation has not changed. We have long-term injuries at wing-back and we suffered a lot," manager Thomas Tuchel clarified earlier this month.
