Tottenham players have hailed the form last season of England winger Aaron Lennon.

"Aaron was brilliant," said Jermaine Jenas. "All the accolades and praise he received are well deserved.

"I'm one of his biggest fans. He worked really hard, played through injury towards the end of the season and did everything that was asked of him.

"I really can't say enough about the lad, his attitude and character. For me, he's the best right winger in England."

Tom Huddlestone agreed, telling the Spurs website: "Apart from the last few weeks, Aaron was fully fit and he seemed more positive in his performances.

"Whenever he gets the ball, he wants to take his defender on, and he puts balls into dangerous areas where strikers can't help but get on the end of them."
