Rooney complete Everton Move

England striker Wayne Rooney completes his move back to Everton from Manchester United on a free transfer.

The 31 years old striker moves back to Everton 13 years after he joined Manchester United from Everton on a 20 million pound deal at that time.

The deal was possible after Romelu Lukaku agreed to join Manchester United from Everton.

“It’s a great feeling to be back. I cannot wait to meet the lads, get on the training pitch and then get on the pitch to play,” he added.

“I’m not just coming back because it’s the team I support, the team I grew up playing for – I’m coming back because I feel the club can move forward and be successful,” said Rooney, who scored 17 goals in 77 games in his first spell at Goodison.

“I want to be part of it. There will be pressure on me to perform, but I’m ready to go. I believe I can help move this club forward and be more successful on the pitch.”

He added: “It was a no-brainer for me and the only place I was going to go.”

“There were other options there but once I knew that Everton wanted me to come back then it was the only option for me,” he added.
