Everton unveil new signing Aaron Lennon at Finch Farm


Aaron Lennon admits he was left sweating on deadline day with his move to Evertonhanging in the balance.

The Blues agreed his £4.5m transfer from Tottenham Hotspur before the 6pm cut off point on Tuesday and then had a further two hours to complete the deal.

Lennon was officially announced as an Everton player at around 7.15pm after putting pen to paper on a three-year-deal.

But as the 28-year-old explains, with the clock ticking down he began to get a little restless.

“Around four o’clock I started getting a bit nervous!” Lennon said.

“I was rushing around London at that point but I was pretty certain it was going to get done.

"Once the paperwork was all done it was happy days "
“You’re just hoping it all goes through, with all the paperwork and everything, and I was so happy once it got done.

“Once the paperwork was all done, it was happy days and I just couldn’t wait to get up the motorway.

“Once they told me the deal had been agreed and everything was in motion, I headed into London to get the medical done.

“Once the medical was done, I saw a specialist to go through other medical stuff and then basically signed the forms.

“They got sent back and, yeah, last night just about eight o’clock or so I was on the motorway as an Everton player and that was a great feeling.”

Lennon made 14 appearances and scored twice for the Blues when on loan from Spurs last season.

After a difficult spell at White Hart Lane, where he was frozen out of the side and forced to train with the under-21s, Lennon is hoping to kick-start his career at Goodison.

And the 28-year-old says that includes reviving his England ambitions.

“Oh 100 per cent,” said Lennon, who has been capped 21 times.

“That’s definitely one of my aims.

“I didn’t have a good run of games for the last maybe couple of seasons until I came back up here, but hopefully if I can get a great run of games in the team and get a good run out it’s definitely my aim to try and push for an England spot again.”

Lennon has not featured for Spurs since December and didn’t play in any of their pre-season games.

But he says he is in good shape.

“I haven’t played pre-season games but I’ve trained a lot and I feel really good,” Lennon said.

“I’m in good condition, so once I get the game time in I don’t see why not.

“I’ve trained near enough every day this season so I’m in good shape and raring to go.”

Lennon says a big factor in his return to Everton was the chance to work with Roberto Martinez again.

Everton’s new Number 12 added: “He just said he was so happy to have me back and, from the first moment I got here, he was brilliant for me. From the first phone call back in January, I knew I wanted to play for him. He gives me so much confidence and I think it showed in the way I played during my loan spell at the club.”

This is a really good thing that Boberto has with him, it seems. Hope players show it on the pitch this year as well!

lennon will run through brick walls for the manager and us (if he could with his small size) it seems.

He's like naismith, but he can actually play football and is just as fast as deulofeu, but with more stamina.

Very dangerous.
