Kenny, who is on duty with England ahead of the European Under-21 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."
