Everton Transfers: Aaron Lennon Completes Loan Move

Flying Spurs winger joining the Toffeemen.

As previously confirmed, Aaron Lennon has turned his back on possible loan deals with Hull and Stoke today to sign a temporary deal with Everton until the end of the season ahead of a possible permanent deal in the summer. The Spurs man has been forced down the pecking order and seen his first team options limited under Mauricio Pochettino, but he has a lot to offer and he will bring bags of pace to Everton's stuttering attack this season. He has apparently chosen to join Everton rather than Stoke because he would get more playing time. So far Everton have failed to click and are worryingly close to the bottom of the league, especially after investing so heavily in Romelu Lukaku this summer. Hopefully for Everton fans, the player will be able to inject something into Lukaku's game as well to help him get firing. There was some speculation that Tottenham might be looking at a late deal for Kevin Mirallas, and that rumour might now gather a bit more pace into the final hours of the window.
