Everton's Francisco Junior, Jonjoe Kenny join Wigan on loan

Midfielder Francisco Junior and defender Jonjoe Kenny will spend the next few weeks on loan at Wigan Athletic, Everton announced Wednesday.

The two players, both part of Everton's under-21 side, will be available for Wigan's preseason game at Partick Thistle on Tuesday.

Junior, who joined Everton on a free transfer in 2012, is a product of Benfica's academy and has also spent time at Manchester City. He joined Port Vale on loan in March but made only one appearance after suffering a hamstring injury during his debut.

Kenny, meanwhile, arrived at Everton's Academy at the young age of 9 and signed a three-year professional contract with the club last summer.
