Schalke 04 favourites to sign Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny?

Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Schalke 04.

The right-back has progressed from the academy setup to become a member of the first-team squad, making a total of 40 appearances in all competitions.

However, the 22-year-old has remained behind Seamus Coleman in the pecking order, leaving the Toffees to make a decision on the Englishman's future ahead of next season.

According to Sky Sports News, Schalke have registered an interest in taking Kenny on a season-long loan deal, with the German club now managed by former Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner.

Burnley and Crystal Palace are also said to be in the running for Kenny, who still has three years remaining on his contract at Goodison Park.
