Spurs Set For Lennon Battle As Liverpool Target England Winger


Tottenham face a fight to hang on to Aaron Lennon this summer, with Liverpool set to make a renewed bid to land the winger.

Lennon has been outstanding of late, producing a superb display in the Carling Cup Final defeat by Manchester United and scoring four goals in his last seven matches.

Liverpool were interested in signing Lennon during the January transfer window when Spurs were negotiating the deal to bring back Robbie Keane but Harry Redknapp was unwilling to let him move.

Lennon, 21, has a contract with Spurs until 2012 but does not figure among the top earners at White Hart Lane.

He is also pushing for a recall to the England squad and Keane believes his team-mate could make it.

He insisted: 'I see no reason why he shouldn't be in the England squad.'

Meanwhile, Jamie O'Hara played the full 90 minutes last night as Spurs' reserves were beaten 3-0 by Fulham.

Gareth Bale, Chris Gunter, Fraizer Campbell, Adel Taarabt and Giovani dos Santos were also involved in the defeat.
