Leeds United are understood to be keeping tabs on Chelsea midfield man Kenedy with the Elland Road outfit looking to make a signing on deadline day to bolster their ranks.
Kenedy was recalled to the Stamford Bride fold midway through his season-long loan spell at Flamengo and there is talk gaining ground that Chelsea are in line to cash in on him permanently.

Reports from The Daily Telegraph’s Mike McGrath credit Leeds United with a strong interest in the Brazilian with the Yorkshire outfit hoping to take on the Chelsea man in a short-term loan deal running until the end of the campaign.
Thomas Tuchel could be open to parting ways with the 25-year-old Kenedy who is unlikely to find a place in the Chelsea roster that added Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku in a big-money deal last summer.
Leeds, meanwhile, also remain on the hunt for another goalkeeping option to provide cover between the sticks for the first-choice French stopper Illan Meslier.
