Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via the Guardian): "Aaron [Lennon] is enjoying his football and his contribution to the team has been significant. He has got four games left and all I want is for him to enjoy every single second of it and make sure he enjoys the experience as much as we have benefited from his talent."
