Stoke City are heading the queue of clubs chasing Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon.

The London Evening Standard says Lennon is surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane and there are a number of clubs who have expressed interest as well Stoke, including Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Hull.

Tottenham are believed to be looking for about £7million for Lennon, who has made more than 400 appearances for the club since joining from Leeds in 2005.

He would be entitled to a testimonial at the end of the campaign, although Tottenham are keen to sell him permanently in this window.

The England international is thought to be open to a move to the Britannia Stadium, but negotiations between the clubs would hold the key to any deal.
