Everton new boy Lennon eyeing fruitful Lukaku partnership

Aaron Lennon is looking to form a strong partnership with Romelu Lukaku during his spell at Everton.

The 27-year old winger has joined the Toffees on loan from Tottenham for the remainder of the season and has heard enough about the Belgian striker to know the pair can create a dangerous pairing for the Goodison Park outfit.

"He is an unbelievable striker," Lennon, who could make his debut in Saturday's Merseyside derby against Liverpool, told evertontv.

"I have played against him many times and I've watched him for a few years. Even a few of the Belgian lads at Spurs told me how good he is, so hopefully, if I get the games, I'll be able to get some assists for him.

"I think it helps as a winger to have someone like him, who you know will be in the box causing a threat. He is a presence and he's not just dangerous in the box - he can score all different types of goals.

"I definitely think it helps when you have someone with his ability and quality in there to aim for and to pick out."
