Kenny welcomes Schalke switch
Right-back Jonjoe Kenny is relishing an opportunity to prove himself, having signed for Schalke on a season-long loan from Premier League Everton.
The 22-year-old featured just ten times in the English top-flight last term and is hoping to gain a more regular starting spot with Die Konigsblauen
It is a big chance for me, to come to a new country and show off my abilities.

Kenny told his new 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 04 is a club with a long history and fantastic fans. I am happy to be here and can't wait to get started with the team."
Kenny was targeted by new Schalke head coach David Wagner, who worked in England with Huddersfield Town and who was keen to bring in a right-sided defender to bolster his squad.
Sporting director Jochen Schneider added: "We are very happy that we have been able to bring Jonjoe Kenny to FC Schalke 04.
"With this signing, we have filled the gap at right-back and completed one of our aims of the summer."
Schalke endured a very disappointing season, finishing down in 14th place in the final Bundesliga standings and exiting the DFB-Pokal at the quarter-final stage.
In the Champions League they qualified from their group, only to be thrashed 10-2 on aggregate by Manchester City in the first knockout round.
Schalke are a lengthy 200/1 to win the Bundesliga title next season, with Borussia Dortmund 9/2 and RB Leipzig 14/1.
