Lokomotiv Moscow target loan deal for Chelsea's Kenedy?

Left-sided Chelsea player Kenedy has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Lokomotiv Moscow.

With Chelsea failing to secure competition for Marcos Alonso during the summer, Kenedy was kept at Stamford Bridge as backup to the Spaniard but the 21-year-old has not been required in the Premier League.

The Brazilian has made three appearances in the EFL Cup, but head coach Antonio Conte is allegedly willing to allow him to gain experience out on loan at another club.

Newcastle United have been credited with an interest but according to Globo Esporte, Lokomotiv Moscow are favourites to sign the versatile South American.

With 10 games remaining, Lokomotiv sit eight points clear at the top of the league standings and are keen to strengthen their bid to win a first title since 2004.
