AARON Lennon's Premier League and international experience can help boost the Clarets squad, according to Burnley boss Sean Dyche.

The 30-year-old signed a two-and-a-half year deal on Tuesday as he completed his move from Everton for a nominal fee.

Lennon has 21 caps for England and has made 342 appearances for Leeds, Tottenham and Everton in the Premier League, and Dyche that experience, as well as his pace, can be a major asset.

"The obvious one is his experience along with his pace. He’s another rounded figure in the Premier League in our camp, because we haven’t got that many," Dyche said of his latest new recruit.

"He can rub off on the players as well, not necessarily with his voice, some do it by the way they go about their business, their understanding of the level.

"He’s got 21 England caps, that adds in to his experience level, so it's a bit of everything.

"He’s a different type of players, a different player in our camp because we want to keep shifting it forward.

"It’s finding that nice balance between players who can develop with us and players who are more rounded who can add to the group."

Lennon was close to making the move to Turf Moor in the summer when the two clubs had agreed a deal, but he had a change of heart on deadline day and opted to remain at Goodison Park.

But with Theo Walcott's arrival on Merseyside set to limit Lennon's opportunities in the second half of the campaign and his contract expiring in the summer Dyche went back for his man during the January window.

"Things change quickly. When myself and my staff like a player we follow them," he said.

"I tried to sign Tarky (James Tarkowski) when he was at Oldham and believe it or not we couldn’t afford him, but I kept tabs on him.

"Tom Heaton was another. When I got the sack at Watford I was just on the cusp of signing him. I said to his agent ‘I’ll be back’, and I was.

"Once I’ve got a feeling for a player and my staff have and we agree it we generally like them for a reason."
