A staple of the Premier League for the last 12 years, Aaron has been one of the more exciting wingers in this period.

With his electric pace and ability to beat his man, Lennon was earmarked for good things right from his days in the Leeds United Academy.

He is no longer a regular starter under coach Ronald Koeman but is expected to play a leading role in the dressing room, advising the youngsters and being a positive influence following from his experiences with stress and depression.

He has made 328 PL appearances for Leeds, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton bagging a reasonable tally of 33 goals and 47 assists in his career.
