I remember reading about how Derby County and West Brom were fighting for Wayne Rooney's Signature that 3 hours ago!!
I can confirm that Wayne Rooney has been signed for 18months by Derby County as reported by dailymail.
I can really see how many deals will be completed in this remaining days before the transfer window closes on Thursday..
I have really lived the speed with which this deal has gone through, I just about it less than 24 hours and now it's complete!!!
This also means that Derby has signed a new spornsorhip deal with shirt sponsors 32Red,and guess what Wayne Rooney will be wearing jersey number 32!!!
The sponsorship deal is both business to Wayne Rooney and Derby County, it's a win win for both parties!!!
The deal to bring Rooney to Derby is believed to include wages of £100,000 a week.
'The commercial opportunities this creates are widespread and significant,' Derby chairman Mel Morris said.
The Manchester United all time top scorer was/is currently plying his trade in MLS where he plays for DC United where he has 23 goals and 14 assists in 43 appearances.
Wayne Rooney has led the club from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to the play-offs last year.
It has to be noted that Wayne Rooney will be joining Derby County in January 2020 and he is still committed to DC United.
He had his to say below
Rooney added: 'I remain fully focused on giving my all for the team for the rest of this season and repaying the support shown by the Black-and-Red faithful by hopefully delivering an MLS Cup to Audi Field.'
Wayne Rooney is excited about this move as it also brings him closer to his family and he has this below to say
Rooney said: 'I am very excited about the opportunity that Derby County have provided me with.
'I am looking forward to joining Phillip Cocu, his coaching staff and the first-team squad from the start of January. I am sure I can make a big contribution and can't wait to meet everyone, especially the supporters.
'I am equally excited to begin my coaching career at Derby County working with both the first team and academy.'
So Wayne Rooney will be a coach player in Derby County come January 2020.
We all wish this English football legend a great start to his coaching career come January 2020.
I am personally a Rooney fan and I am really happy for him.
I wish even other transfer deals be this quick hehehe.
Hope he excels as a coach and wish him the best.
Love
