'He really understood' - Aaron Lennon praises Sean Dyche after being left 'hurt' by previous Everton manager

Aaron Lennon has revealed he never saw eye-to-eye with Ronald Koeman during his time at Everton and was often left 'hurt' after being overlooked on countless occasions.

The 35-year-old initially joined the Blues on loan for the second half of the 2014/15 season, at which point Roberto Martinez was in charge of the side, and later joined the club on a permanent basis at the start of the following campaign.

Lennon made 31 appearances in all competitions during his first full season but saw opportunities gradually reduced following the appointment of Ronald Koeman in June 2016. Starting only six Premier League matches in Koeman's first year, the Leeds-born winger only worked his way back into contention the next season following the Dutchman's sacking in October 2017.
