Jonjoe Kenny admits the presence of David Wagner was key to his move to Schalke.
The Everton defender has joined the former Huddersfield manager at S04 on a season-long loan.
Kenny said: "Schalke is a huge club with great fans, great stadium and an eventful history.
"Also, coach David Wagner was one reason for my transfer. I know him from the Premier League and think he's a great coach.
"You've seen what he has achieved with Huddersfield and I'm convinced he can make me a better player. I am very happy and can hardly wait for it to finally start."
