While it’s always great to do a deal for an A-lister we can’t help but get more excited about the arrival of an uber-talented youngster.
Because you pretty much know what you are going to get with a household name. But when a teenage sensation comes into the club you dare to dream about exactly how far he can go.
That sums up our moo0d about the potential capture of Kenedy. The 19 year old Fluminense forward has been drawing gasps of approval in his homeland already and reports this week suggest that the lad is in London to complete a medical ahead of a move to Chelsea. The Daily Mail reports:

This was on Tuesday so we expect that a deal for the lad will be completed any time now.
We truly hope that the Brazilian gets a chance in the first team this season instead of being shipped out on loan. It’s a regular practice at Chelsea to assess the player for three months to see if he’s ready for the first team. If not he will be sent out on loan in the winter window.
But he’s already a big boy and one who we think could surprise a few people straight away. One or two impressive cameos and the light will be shine brightly on this young star.
Let’s take a look at him in action. Chelsea fans: is he ready?
