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 “oh my god, they killed Kenny” catchphrase from TV show South Park.
Kenny, who is on duty with England ahead of the European U21 Championships, told the club’s official website: “It is a big chance for me, to come to a new country and show off my abilities, especially at a big club like Schalke.
“Schalke is a club with a long history and fantastic fans. I am happy to be here and can’t wait to get up and running with the team.”

National governments and medical authorities will decide when fans return to rugby stadiums and what measures are needed to for players to return to training, not World Rugby.
@Mark Wallace: think it’s fair enough for them to lay out their position on it though. It’d be far worse to be sitting on their hands.
@Jim Demps: agreed Jim. They have to be somewhat proactive.
@Jim Demps: But it’s not up to them. FIFA aren’t telling football asssociations that they can’t have crowds or how their players can train. It up to national authorities, as seen with the different approaches in countries like Germany and Spain against the total ban approach taken in France and Netherlands.
@Mark Wallace: you’re right, it’s not up to them, that’s why this report is simply laying out guidelines for a return, not a de facto ruling. Each countries govt will liaise with its own union who in turn are advised by World rugby.
@Mark Wallace: World Rugby didn’t make any assumptions on when there would be a return. They mention thats for goverments. What they are doing is planning on possible outcomes, so when there are goverment changes they can react quickly. Also by out lining there may not be a return to large crowds untill there is a vaccine, it lets the Unions plan a bit better, knowing they may have a very reduced income untill that point. Its a sensible document and doesn’t rise above its station as you suggest.
In that case there may never be large crowds at a game again
@David Kelly: Luckily Munster have been practicing social distancing at Thomond Park for a decade. Finally, they have an opportunity to contribute something to Irish rugby and show us how it’s done!
