Schalke have completed the transfer of England and Everton youngster Jonjoe Kenny on loan.
He will spend the entire 2019-2020 season with the German club.
The 22-year-old was down in the pecking order at Goodison Park, with the likes of Seamus Coleman blocking his path to a starting position.
Schalke officially announced the move on Monday.
"Jonjoe Kenny is joining team Schalke 04 on a season-long loan for the 2019-20 campaign," read a club statement.
"Kenny will link up with Schalke manager David Wagner and his side when he returns from international duty with Under-21s.
"The 22-year-old right-back is in the squad that will compete in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, which gets under way in this weekend."
