Arsenal legend Tony Adams says Rooney should not move to London

Former Arsenal defender Tony Adams, has advised Wayne Rooney against making the move to London.

The striker is unsettled at Manchester United and sent in a transfer request before Sir Alex Ferguson retired. The Gunners and Chelsea are believed to be interested in Rooney, but Adams has asked him to remain at Old Trafford.

“I’m not sure Wayne Rooney could handle London,” he said.

“That would be a massive risk for me. I don’t think it’s a question of finances, it’s his temperament and mentality. London is a different animal. It takes a different type of player to handle it.

“Wayne is a super player and I would love to see him at the Arsenal. But I’m not sure about him mentally, off the pitch and his professionalism.

“I wouldn’t like to spend my money on Wayne.”
