The 21-year-old will wear the number 15 shirt at St. James' Park.

Kenedy will not be eligible to play against his parent club in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday, but could make his Magpies bow against Burnley in the Premier League next week.

He would become the fourth Brazilian to play for Newcastle United, following in the footsteps of Mirandinha, Fumaça and Caçapa.

You can buy a Newcastle shirt with Kenedy's name and number on the back here.
