ROO’S LION IN WAIT

WAYNE ROONEY believes Everton can help him win back his England place. The Manchester United striker (left) has never given up on the Three Lions despite losing his place in the squad and believes that an impressive season at Goodison could put him in the World Cup frame.

The 31-year-old’s return to his boyhood club, on a two-year contract, could be completed within the next 48 hours.

Everton are trying to keep Rooney’s move separate from Romelu Lukaku’s switch in the opposite direction.
