Jonjoe Kenny signs for Hertha BSC!

Right-back Jonjoe Kenny has joined Hertha BSC on a free transfer from Everton, signing a contract valid until 2025. “Jonjoe is a player that will bring some fresh impetus and pace into our game. He’s gained experience in both the Premier League and the Bundesliga, plus he still has the potential to develop further aged just 25. We could sense how excited he was to join Hertha BSC during our discussions,” stated Fredi Bobic. The Englishman is raring to go: “The club made it clear how much they wanted me. I’m pleased to be here. I’m looking forward to playing for this club, seeing the fans and moving to this city,” said the former England U21 international.
