Wayne Rooney on Sunday afternoon announced that he was excited to be back at Everton, the club with which the 31-year old began his Premiership career as a teenager.
Sports Village Square gathered the England’s captain’s from his tweets on Sunday. That was shortly after he completed a sensational Everton return after signing a two-year deal.
He is joining the likes of Super Eagles Henry Onyekuru, Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen, Sandro Ramirez and Michael Keane. He thus becomes Everton’s fifth senior signing this summer. However, Sports Village Square gathered, Nigeria’s Onyekuru may not play alongside the legendary Rooney as the Super Eagles’ recent call-up is heading out on loan to Anderlecht.
Everton did not waste time in unveiling Rooney their boyhood hero who returned after 13 years of absence.
Rooney will reportedly earn around £150,000-a-week – the club’s biggest wage earner in their history – and, speaking to the club’s official site following his remarkable reunion with his boyhood side, failed to contain his delight at securing a move back home.The completion of Rooney’s reunion with the Toffees marks the end of a 10-month long transfer saga that initially saw the 31-year-old tipped to move back down the M62 in October.
Koeman said “Wayne has shown me that ambition that we need and that winning mentality – he knows how to win titles and I’m really happy he’s decided to come home…
“He loves Everton and he was desperate to come back. He is still only 31 and I don’t have any doubts about his qualities. It’s fantastic he’s here.”
Rooney made 77 appearances in all competitions for Everton during his first spell with the club – a spell that saw him score 17 goals – before he broke Evertonian hearts to join United in a £27m move in August 2004.
The United legend featured 559 times for the Europa League winners across 13 seasons at Old Trafford, becoming the club’s new all-time record goal scorer and lifting 18 titles with the English heavyweights.
