Bolton striker Heskey says Lennon would suit Aston Villa

Bolton Wanderers striker Emile Heskey says manager Neil Lennon would be a great choice for Aston Villa.

Lennon has been linked with the Villans since Paul Lambert's sacking.

Heskey told talkSPORT: "I definitely think he has got what it takes. People forget what he did at Celtic, he had a phenomenal time at Celtic as manger, beating Barcelona in the Champions League.

"He has had a phenomenal career up to now and now he has taken Bolton to another level as well, considering we were low on confidence he brought that back and brought a lot of players in who have enhanced the club.

"He is tailor-made for a big club."
