Everton winger Aaron Lennon is closing in on a move to Burnley after becoming surplus to requirements at Goodison Park. 

The 30-year-old moved down the pecking order when Sam Allardyce secured Theo Walcott on a £20m deal.

And Sportsmail understands that Everton have agreed a deal with Burnley for an undisclosed fee.

Sean Dyche has been keen on signing Lennon since December and it appears he has his man. 


Everton also offered the wide-man to Newcastle and West Ham. 

Lennon joined the Toffees in 2015 from Tottenham, scoring seven goals in 63 appearances during his time at the Merseyside club.

He has played 19 matches in all competitions so far this season so is in strong condition and match-fitness. 

A deal will come too late for him to feature against Manchester United at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Should he complete the move as expected, Lennon will look to worm his way into Dyche's side to take on Newcastle.
