[LNB]Keane has been impressed by Lennon since returning to White Hart Lane at the end of the winter transfer window and feels the 21-year-old has improved as a player.[LNB]Keane believes Lennon is a unique talent and should be a regular in the England squad.[LNB]"Aaron's been brilliant. I've always been an admirer of his style, from a long time ago," Keane said in the Daily Mirror.[LNB]"He was terrific against Man United and I don't think Patrice Evra has ever had a test like that.[LNB]"Since I got back to Tottenham, I've seen a more mature player.[LNB]"I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be in the England squad again - he should be in there anyway as you haven't another player like him.[LNB]"There are no other wingers who can beat people with his pace and change a game. Does anyone beat him in sprints in training? What do you think?"[LNB]Keane boostLennon, meanwhile, has praised Keane for the impact he has had since joining Spurs from Liverpool.[LNB]Harry Redknapp's side have eased their relegation worries with a series of good results in recent weeks and Lennon thinks Keane has helped to raise everyone's level.[LNB]"It's as if Robbie has never been away," said Lennon.[LNB]"He reads the game so well, he's always been good for me and he's brilliant for the club, both on the pitch and in the dressing room.[LNB]"He's a legend here and he's given everyone a boost."
