He told The Sun newspaper: "Edgar coaches me through the big games on the pitch and that has helped me tremendously."

Games don't come much bigger than Lennon's Tottenham debut against Chelsea at White Hart Lane when he came on to replace Teemu Tainio at the break.

The right winger was rewarded for his second half performance against the Premiership champions with a place in the starting line-up against Liverpool, followed by a third game at home when Fulham were the visitors to White Hart Lane on Monday.

“I hope Edgar will help take my game to a new level. I work with him on my movement because I have the speed - we spent half an hour together on things after training ahead of the Fulham game and I think that hard work paid off. That was my best performance since I came to the club," he added.
