Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon has joined Everton until the end of the season.

The 21-time England cap confirmed the deal in a text to pundit and former team-mate Jermaine Jenas, and is believed to have chosen Everton over Premier League rivals Stoke.

Lennon has found game-time difficult to come by under Mauricio Pochettino this season, making nine league appearances.

The 27-year-old joined Spurs from Leeds in 2005.
