A Lennon story with legs
At last a transfer rumour that may have some legs. Aaron Lennon has been linked with clubs that he wouldn't want to go to, WBA, Stoke City, Hull City, Sunderland and the like.
He has made it clear he doesn't really want to leave Spurs, why would he, he is at a top 5 club and the majority of Premier League clubs from there would be a step down. Apart from playing football every week, which could lead to getting relegated to the Championship what would he have to look forward to
A week ago I wrote an article in which I speculated Aaron Lennon would only be interested in moving to a club like Everton, Liverpool, Southampton or West Ham. Now come the news that Everton are taking an interest and that Roberto Martinez wants to strengthen his winger options.
The suggestion that Spurs would allow him to leave is quite comical as if they don't want him to but would reluctantly agree. In truth they want him to leave and he doesn't want to. He didn't even get near the team for the FA Cup Third Round tie at Burnley where had Pochettino wanted him he would have given him game time to rest other players with the fixtures piling up.
He hasn't featured in the Premier League since December 6th against Crystal Palace and his final outing was 5 days later on December 11th against Besiktas in the UEFA Europa League. He isn't injured although their are rumours he is complaining about his hamstring.

Everton are thought to need to offload before they can buy so a deal may not be imminent but it is a destination that Yorkshire born Lennon is far more likely to be happy with than some of the other suggested options.
