Chelsea star refuses to report for pre-season to force move away from Stamford Bridge

Kenedy has reportedly failed to report for pre-season training with Chelsea in an attempt to force a move away from the club.

Brazilian outlet Extra, state that the 25-year-old is still in Brazil, despite Thomas Tuchel recalling his squad back to London to begin their preparations for next season

Kenedy spent last season in Spain on loan at Granada, where he made 44 appearances and scored eight goals.

Having signed for Chelsea in 2015, the winger now seems determined to leave the club in favour of a move back to Brazil, with Flamenco said to be interested.
