LONDON (Reuters) - Brazilian midfielder Kenedy has joined Watford on loan from Premier League rivals Chelsea for the rest of the season, the Vicarage Road club said on Tuesday. The Under-20 international moved to Chelsea from Fluminense in a 6.7 million pounds ($8.76 million) deal in 2015 and has played 20 times for the Londoners, scoring twice. Kenedy, 20, is likely to be deployed by Watford as a wing back. He also featured as a left winger last season. (Reporting by Mark Greaves; Editing by Tony Jimenez)
