Roberto Martinez praises Aaron Lennon impact

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has said that Aaron Lennon has made a positive impact at the club since his loan move from Tottenham Hotspur.

The winger netted his first goal for the Toffees on Sunday to secure a 2-1 Premier League victory at struggling Queens Park Rangers.

Martinez has been impressed with Lennon's form since his arrival at Goodison Park.

"Since day one he has come in and showed an incredible appetite," the Toffees boss told talkSPORT.

"He looked like a player that has been at Everton for years [against QPR]. He took responsibility, he knew he had fresh legs, and the way he performed was magnificent.

"It wasn't just what he did in front of goal, but the way he worked in defence was a real help. It was a really strong performance."

Lennon has made seven appearances since joining Everton in February.
