# Arsenal face competition from Bundesliga side for Brazilian winger

Arsenal will face competition from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig for the signature of Chelsea winger Kenedy this summer.

[Goal](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/rb-leipzig-ready-kenedy-offer-amid-interest-from-psg-bayern/2t634oghb0sz1e5bdygrgr2g3) reports that Leipzig and Arsenal are leading the race to sign the Brazilian, who is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have been briefly linked with the player, while Newcastle are also keen on a permanent deal but face the prospect of being priced out.

The winger was loaned out to the Magpies for the second half of the season when he fell out of favour under Antonio Conte.

With the latter closing in on a Chelsea departure, Kenedy may see that as a route back into the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge.

Emil Forsberg is being heavily linked with a move to Arsenal, who have been long-term admirers of the Swedish forward.

Kenedy could be seen as a direct replacement for the winger, who is being tipped to move on from the Bundesliga outfit this summer.
