Kenny may not be the most talented player but plays with heart and passion which is what this this Everton squad is lacking atm. Hopefully keep him,play him and let him progress under Ancelotti for me

Prefer him to Sidibe and seems on a upward curve. He has no doubt improved during his loan spell in Germany.

Sell him, won't be first-team level

This season, the 22-year-old defender has featured in 21 games for the Bundesliga outfit, in which he has scored once and assisted twice (as per Transfermarkt).
With a positive average rating of 6.58/10 (as per WhoScored), supporters felt that Kenny would be a good player to keep at Goodison Park despite the interest from the German club.
He’s better then sidibe ??????

I would of kept him as Colemans replacement and Not Sidibe.
Makes me think if he was to go we would of purchased Sidibe and not loaned him.— Sam Dutton (@SamDutton11) January 15, 2020
He has impressed in a good league, still young, why would anyone want to sell him?!

What do we think?
As many supporters have suggested, Kenny is young, would cost nothing and has potential for growth after impressing with Schalke, so it would be better for Carlo Ancelotti to at least asses him before making any hard and fast decisions.
However, only time will tell if that is how events actually transpire if the Germans are willing to pay a decent figure for the £10.8-million rated defender.
