Football - Everton swoop for Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon.

Everton have completed the signing of Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon on a three-year contract.

The 28-year-old returns to Goodison Park on a permanent deal after spending the second half of last season on loan.

Despite manager Roberto Martinez's interest in the winger, the move was finalised after the deadline after Everton filed a deal sheet with the Premier League just before 6pm announcing their intention to sign the player, giving them a further two hours to complete the formalities.

"We are delighted to welcome Aaron back to Everton," manager Roberto Martinez told evertonfc.com.
