Football fans have done a fantastic job of rallying around Aaron Lennon in recent months.The Everton winger missed the end of last season after it emerged he was suffering from a "stress-related illness".During his time away, it won't have escaped Lennon that his name has been sung regularly at Goodison Park, as well as at White Hart Lane.Ronald Koeman has given the 30-year-old all the time he needed to make a return, and it's great to see him back playing again for the first time since February.The question now is what happens with his Everton career.Lennon only has a year left on his contract and naturally, Koeman has not been pushing the issue while he's been recovering.Birmingham City are reportedly interested in a loan move, per The Daily Mail - the Blues, of course, managed by his former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.If his pre-season performance is anything to go by, though, it looks as if he still has plenty to offer in the Premier League.The irony is that after all the money the Toffees have spent this summer, it was Lennon, Kevin Mirallas, and Kieran Dowell who got the goals as they cruised to a 3-0 win against FC Twente.

Lennon at his finest  

Mirallas' strike was an absolute thunderbolt and Dowell's was a pretty classy finish too - but there was something special about Lennon's.

For a player entering his 30s and who has had to contend with criticism that he's no longer at his best, he showed off some lightning pace to win the ball ahead of his goal.

FC Twente had struggled to clear their lines and could only punt the ball out into open space on the left. The former England international shot over to pick up the ball, cut inside, and slotted it into the bottom corner.

This was Lennon at his peak.

It clearly impressed his manager, who singled him out for praise in his tweet after the game.

All in all, Everton look in good shape ahead of the start of their Europa League campaign, though they suffered a big blow earlier this week after learning Ramiro Funes Mori will miss up to nine months following knee surgery.
