Lennon to Newcastle or Everton

West Ham can take no more loan players so 28-year-old Aaron Lennon could be leaving Spurs on loan for Newcastle United.



One season up there will benefit him as they have bought a striker who thrives on crosses and is good in the air, but quite apart from that it means Lennon will be a free agent in a year. He can then command a bigger salary than if a club had to pay a transfer fee for him and he stops Spurs getting a fee.

Everton have not given up and are hoping to agree a fee of £4.5-million (€6.12m)  fee with us for his services, we were asking £9-million (€12.25m)  which demonstrates why clubs wait until the last minute to buy players.

Lennon has always favoured a move to Everton but the Newcastle interest and the prospect of being able to command higher wages in a year may appeal, it would to Adebayor of course.
