Chelsea Transfer News: Winger set for Stamford Bridge return
BRAZILIAN winger Kenedy faces being sent back to Chelsea after a disappointing spell at Watford.

Last season he made 20 appearances for the Blues after joining from Brazilian side Fluminese for £6.7million.
But the versatile 20-year-old was sent on loan to Watford until the end of the season in an effort to secure more first-team football.
Kenedy's only Watford appearance came against Burnley
Then on deadline day Chelsea boss Antonio Conte completed a deal for Spanish left full back Marcos Alonso.
It was hoped Kenedy could have a similar impact at Vicarage Road as Nathan Ake, who spent the 2015/16 campaign there.

But 20-year-old has failed to impress manager Walter Mazzarri.
Hertfordshire-based publication WD Sport say Mazzarri has doubts about Kenedy's best position and is unhappy with his 'attitude and application'.
Though a knee injury has hampered his chances, Kenedy's made just one substitute appearance and failed to make Mazzarri's squad for their last two games against Liverpool and Leicester.
