Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon has joined Everton on loan until the end of the season.

Lennon used to be a star of the Spurs team under Harry Redknapp and his successor Andre Villas-Boas, but he has started just three Barclays Premier League matches under current boss Mauricio Pochettino.

And Everton have now given the 27-year-old a chance to revive his career on Merseyside.

A tweet from the Toffees read: "Everton have signed Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon on loan until the end of the season. Welcome, Aaron! £EFC"

Roberto Martinez said: “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.

“At 27, 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.”
