Winger Aaron Lennon believes he still has plenty to offer
after joining Burnley from Everton for a nominal fee, with six months left on
his contract.
Lennon played 77 matches for the Toffees but the arrival of
Theo Walcott last week pushed him further down the pecking order at Goodison
Park and he is now looking for a fresh start at Turf Moor.
“I think I’ve still got a lot to offer. I am only 30 and I
still want to play at the highest level,” the former England international, who
missed the final three months of last season after mental health issues, told
Clarets Player. “I have missed a bit of football in the last year or so and I
just want to get back and play as much as possible.
“I’ve never had an easy game against Burnley and this year
they have done fantastic. They deserve to be where they are. Hopefully, I can
help the side continue that and have a good end to the season. The team has
done brilliant. There are 14 games to go and hopefully we can kick on and
maintain a place in the top half, which would be brilliant for the football
club.”
Lennon scored nine goals in two and a half-years at Goodison
after moving from Tottenham. His switch to Turf Moor extends his 14-year career
in the top flight, which has seen him make 342 Premier League appearances, and
came after a chat with Everton teammate Michael Keane, who made the move in the
opposite direction in the summer.
