Martinez tips Lennon to make England’s Euro squad

LONDON: Everton manager Roberto Martinez has tipped Aaron Lennon to make England’s Euro 2016 squad and believes the in-form winger could be a valuable player for his country during the tournament in France.

Having not represented his country since February 2013, Lennon has found his feet at Everton, after falling down the pecking order at Tottenham Hotspur, and the 28-year-old has netted three goals in his last three games.

“Obviously it is not down to me. But I get the opportunity to work with Aaron day in, day out, and he is such an important player,” Martinez told the British media when asked about Lennon’s chances of making England’s Euro 2016 squad.

“We all know the quality he brings. There are other players in that position but I think he is showing he can be of incredible value to any squad, and clearly for his national team, he could be a real help.”
