A return to his boyhood club would be the best for the Englishman. It would be like one of those fairytale stories where the player has achieved all in his career and then comes back to help his boyhood club.

Earlier this year, Wayne Rooney said, "Manchester United and Everton are the only clubs I have played for as a professional footballer. I am happy to say now that, whatever may happen in the future, I will never play for another Premier League club."

So, if Rooney wants to remain in the Premier League, moving back to Everton would be his only choice. Ronald Koeman would welcome him back with both hands especially with the interest from other clubs in Romelu Lukaku increasing after every match.

The Belgian is attracting interest from several clubs around Europe with PSG and Bayern Munich said to be the latest ones interested in signing him. Rooney could be a great replacement for him and also make it a romantic ending for Wayne Rooney's career, at least in the Premier League.
