Brazilian winger Kenedy and Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman have left Chelsea for season-long loan deals in Spain.

After two loan spells at Newcastle between 2018 and 2019, Kenedy, 23, has agreed to spend 2019-20 with Getafe.

Rahman, 25, signed a one-year contract extension with Chelsea to 2022 before joining Real Mallorca on loan.

The left-back joined the Blues from Augsburg in 2015 and had loan spells with Bundesliga club Schalke and French side Reims last term.

The Ghana international has played 23 games for Chelsea - all in 2015-16.

Kenedy arrived from Fluminense in the same summer as Rahman and has made 27 appearances for Chelsea, scoring three goals.

Meanwhile, Brazilian winger Lucas Piazon, 25, who spent last season on loan at Chievo, has joined Portuguese club Rio Ave until the end of the season.
