# Lennon: ‘It felt like home’

Aaron Lennon has said returning to Everton permanently has given him ‘an unbelievable feeling’.

The 28-year-old signed a three-year-deal with the Blues after an impressive loan spell last season and has spoken of his happiness to return to Merseyside on a full-time basis.

He also mentioned his burning desire to return to Everton and how he had to wait throughout the summer to become one of the Toffeemen.

> “It’s an unbelievable feeling, a lot of people know it’s the move I wanted and from the first time I got here, it felt like home.” Lennon told [evertontv.](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2015/09/02/no-place-like-home?)

> “I was just hoping it got done throughout the summer, I was just waiting, waiting. Yesterday was a great moment for me to finally become a full time Everton player.

> “The loan spell was great for me. I enjoyed the whole feel of everything and the reception from everyone to do with the club.

> I felt so welcomed and I was just hoping throughout the whole summer that this one got done – and thankfully it did.”

Lennon scored two goals and rejuvenated an ailing Everton side in the 2014/15 campaign, with his energetic, all-action displays going down a treat with the Goodison faithful.

The winger can play on both sides of the pitch and cost the Blues £4.5million, half the valuation placed on his head by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy earlier in the summer.

When asked what made him want to come back to Goodison Park, Lennon said:

> “Everything.”

> “The gaffer, the lads, the staff, the fans, everyone to do with the club, to be honest, made me feel so welcome from the first that I got here.”
