Tottenham Hotspur’s long-serving winger Aaron Lennon joined Everton on loan for the rest of the season on Monday.
.
Lennon, who joined Tottenham from Leeds United as a teenager in 2005 and has made 267 Premier League appearances for the club, has found it hard to nail down a first team spot this season under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
.
At 27, however, England international Lennon is still highly-regarded and Everton manager Roberto Martinez apparently beat off interest from other clubs to sign Lennon.
.
He could make his debut in this weekend’s derby with Liverpool.
.
“We all know what Aaron will bring to our squad with his experience and know-how, his involvement with England in two World Cups and the landmarks he has set in the Premier League,” Martinez told Everton’s website.
.
“Aaron will be a really important asset to our squad and he will represent a real boost in terms of attacking options from now to the end of the season.
.
“His pace and trickery will fit in well at Goodison.”
