Arsenal linked with move for Everton right-back Jonjoe Kenny

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all thought to be keen on signing Everton right-back Jonjoe Kenny. 

That’s according to the Daily Mail, cited by The Boot Room, who suggest that the London trio are all showing an interest in the 22-year-old following his impressive form on loan at Bundesliga side Schalke.

Kenny, who’s turned out for England up to Under-21 level, has started every game in the German top flight this season, helping Schalke to fifth after 17 rounds of fixtures.

His impressive displays have now caught the eye of the Gunners, who could approach Everton officials over a possible move.

Mikel Arteta currently has both Hector Bellerin and Ainsley Maitland-Niles as his right-back options, so the links to Kenny come as a surprise. 

Central defensive additions are needed at the Emirates, and despite Kenny’s excellent form, it would be a shock if Arsenal firmed up their reported interest. 

Tottenham probably need Kenny’s services the most, with Serge Aurier struggling defensively under Jose Mourinho.

Frank Lampard has Cesar Azpilicueta, Reece James and Tariq Lamptey in that area, so if any side are to move for Kenny, we expect Spurs to be the team.
