Everton's Coleman full of praise for 'unbelievable' Tottenham loanee Lennon

Seamus Coleman has hailed the impact Aaron Lennon has had at Everton since his arrival at the club in January.

After initially struggling at Goodison Park, Lennon has sparked into life in the past month or so and it is fair to say that the winger has been the most important player in the Toffees' recent five-match unbeaten run.

The 27-year old has deservedly been praised for his role in turning Everton's season around and now teammate Coleman has also moved on to hail the Tottenham loanee by describing his contribution as 'unbelievable'.

The Irishman told the Liverpool Echo: "He's an unbelievable lad, first and foremost, he works his socks off coming back and going forward.

"Since he has come to the club he has been one of our best performers and he is a great lad and we're all happy to see him doing well.

"It is a bit like Gerry (Gerard Delofeu) last year, he's a fast winger and sometimes you have just got to get the ball out of your feet and get the ball to him as quickly as possible.

"And sometimes he opens up space for me because defenders are worried about him. We have got a lot of good wingers here fighting for places."
