My people, wetin dey happen for football world? Wayne Rooney wey don see am all don yarn say Declan Rice go be future captain for the Three Lions. E don follow Arsenal turn up the heat for Premier League after dem beat Everton.

Rooney wey fit captain England from 2014 to 2017, no fit hide him excitement as e catch River for Hill Dickinson Stadium to see Rice shine like star. This guy don collect 72 caps for England, and e don wear captain armband when Harry Kane miss road. Na June, him show say him fit handle pressure.

“For me, Declan na the one wey dey wait for Harry to retire,” Rooney talk as him dey gist for BBC Show wey dem call The Wayne Rooney Show. As he carry eye sight watch Rice, e see how the guy dey move around pitch like say na im get am. E dey choose pass like say na game of chess wey dey on the field, and e no show corner at all.

“E dey split defenders, collect ball from Arsenal defence, act like third defender, then in the next breath, e dey show face for box to try score. Wetin e dey do dey underrated, trust me,” Rooney continue. E go fit carry the armband when the time reach, no doubt about that. He sabi how to drive team and everybody near am like am well well. Na irreplaceable player for England.”

As we dey talk about player wey dey shine, make we shift small to Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Na Rooney former teammate wey suffer for the beginning of him Leeds adventure. Last month, na one goal in 10 league matches, but now the guy don dey score like e be goal machine. He don net for five matches straight!

“If he continue this kind form, why him no go enter World Cup squad? England no get plenty forwards, and with him dey hot like this, e go be tough for defenders,” Rooney dey reason am. “Him dey compete well, him dey great for air, and when him score like this, na trouble for any team.”

And no forget Viktor Gyokeres wey still dey try chop ground since him summer move to Arsenal. E score penalty, but the guy don dey struggle for consistent goals. But Rooney no gree make anybody judge am by goals alone. “E dey do better things wey person no dey see,” e explain. “Even when him no dey score, e dey occupy defenders, creating space for others. E dey very important for Arsenal even if him no dey bang goals.”

So my people, e be like say Rooney just dey hottin everybody with him commentary. Whether na Declan Rice wey go turn captain, or Calvert-Lewin wey don catch fire, one thing we all sabi – football no dey dull! Keep your eyes on top dem boys, next World Cup fit carry plenty wahala!
