Chelsea have announced on their official website that Robert Kenedy has left the club to join Watford on a season-long loan deal.

He joined the Blues from Brazilian side Fluminense in a £6.7m deal last summer and immediately secured a work permit before featuring 20 times for Chelsea last season.
Kenedy, 20, is likely to be deployed by Watford as a wing back.
Kenedy, who does not turn 21 until February, will not have to be registered as part of the Hornets’ 25-man squad which will be confirmed when the transfer window shuts at 11pm tomorrow.
While Kenedy spent his younger years out wide, the 20-year-old can operate anywhere on the left flank and has predominantly featured for the Blues at left-back.
“His goal away at Norwich in March, which came after just 39 seconds, was the fastest scored in the Premier League last season”.
