'Oh my god, they signed Kenny': Schalke seal deal for Everton defender

The German club took inspiration from South Park to announce their latest signing.

SCHALKE HAVE ANNOUNCED the signing of Jonjoe Kenny on loan from Everton for the 2019/20 campaign.

The 22-year-old, who made his debut for the Toffees in May 2016, played second fiddle to Seamus Coleman last season and was restricted to just 13 appearances across all competitions.

The Bundesliga side announced the arrival of the right-back via a humorous social media post that riffed on the โ€œoh my god, they killed Kennyโ€ catchphrase from TV show South Park.

Kenny, who is on duty with England ahead of the European U21 Championships, told the clubโ€™s official website: โ€œIt is a big chance for me, to come to a new country and show off my abilities, especially at a big club like Schalke.

โ€œSchalke is a club with a long history and fantastic fans. I am happy to be here and canโ€™t wait to get up and running with the team.โ€

    @Stephen Foster:
    Sure, just ask the 6 million who died in living memory.
