Everton skipper Jagielka welcomes new teammate Lennon

Everton skipper Phil Jagielka has welcomed new teammate Aaron Lennon.

Lennon has joined Everton on-loan from Tottenham.

"Quite a few of the boys know him, whether by playing in the Under-21s or senior side with England," Jagielka told evertonfc.com. "Some of us have played against him quite a few times as well. Azza is also from Leeds and a few of the lads are from around that way. So he has settled in easy enough.

"He had a nice little cameo for his debut against Liverpool - which is a tough game to come into!

"We have seen a lot of stuff in training that makes us excited to get him out there and involved in more games.

"He is not able to play in the Europa League so hopefully we can keep him fresh for Premier League games. Hopefully Aaron can come in and prove how good he is as a player."
