Jonjoe Kenny is joining Bundesliga team Schalke 04 on a season-long loan for the 2019-20 campaign.

Kenny will link up with Schalke manager David Wagner and his side when he returns from international duty with England Under-21s.

The 22-year-old right-back is in the Young Lions squad that will compete in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, which gets under way in Italy this weekend.

The Kirkdale-born Academy graduate, who joined Everton aged nine, has made 40 first-team appearances for the Blues since making his debut in 2016, including 12 last season.
