Former England star Aaron Lennon completes free transfer to Turkish side Kayserispor after Burnley release

AARON LENNON is joining Turkish outfit Kayserispor.

The former England winger, 33, has agreed a two-year contract with the Super Lig outfit.

Lennon was a free agent following his release from Burnley back in June.

He joined Sean Dyche's side in 2018 and went on to make 55 appearances for the club over two-and-a-half seasons, scoring one goal.

But he didn't feature for the Clarets after the Prem's restart following the coronavirus disruption.

Lennon weighed up his options before opting to join the Turkish side.

He was pictured with Kayserispor president Berna Gozbasi who announced his arrival on social media.

She wrote: "Kayserispor fans, the signatures will be signed this weekend. Our last visitor of the day was Aaron Lennon."

Kayserispor finished the campaign in 17th and were only saved from relegation because the campaign was deemed null and void.

Last year they signed Emmanuel Adebayor on a one-year contract but he ended up leaving the club in December after just eight games.

It will be Lennon's first experience joining a club abroad having represented Leeds, Tottenham, Everton and Burnley.
