Kenedy made his debut for Chelsea yesterday as they took on Barcelona in a friendly.

The 19-year-old has not, however, officially signed for the Blues due to work permit restrictions, with his registration still officially owned by Fluminense.

Boss José Mourinho praised the young striker’s performance.

“We bought Kenedy because we believe in him. He’s a very young kid that we believe a lot in, hopefully,” he said.

“We have conditions to get him a work permit because we want him. We don’t want him to go out on loan. I think we have what the rules demand to get him a permit.

“He was in pre-season with us without the documents so he couldn’t play the first two matches for us. Against Barcelona he had the chance to do it and even if it was a friendly I think it was the best debut for a kid, to play against the best team. It was a great night for the kid and a great experience.”
