Newcastle want Aaron Lennon from Everton as Rafa Benitez lines up January bid for winger
NEWCASTLE are reportedly weighing up a bid for Everton winger Aaron Lennon.
The 29-year-old is facing an extended spell on the bench following the big-money arrival of Theo Walcott.
Yannick Bolasie is fit again after recovering from a lengthy injury lay-off.
While Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney are hitting form after a deal was completed for new striker Cenk Tosun.
Lennon’s made nine starts in the Premier League this season but may soon find games hard to come by.
And ESPN claims Newcastle are considering a January bid despite Mike Ashley’s failure to agree a takeover of the club.
