The 21-year-old has since become an important player in Schalke’s set up has almost three full seasons to him name but has already set a Premier League target for himself in the near future.
“For me, the next goal is England. It has always been my dream to play in the Premier League,” the Schalke midfielder expressed in an exclusive interview with Goal and DAZN.
“I want to join a club that fights for a place in Europe – the Champions League or the Europa League. For now, I’m happy at Schalke because I get to play.”
In the current campaign, McKennie has made a total of 24 appearances for the club, scoring one and laying on an assist.
