Aaron Lenon bids goodbye to football
Aaron Lenon’s career kickstarted around nineteen years back. He made his senior debut in the Premier League for Leeds United in the year 2003. He was just sixteen at that time and the youngest ever to appear in the league at that span.
Lenon was amazing there and moved to Tottenham Hotspur, gradually becoming iconic there with 364 appearances. After a long tenure at the North London Club for 10 years, Lenon switched to Premiere League ultimate rivals Everton.
