About this episode
Wayne Rooney kicks off his new podcast with presenter Kelly Somers and comedian Kae Kurd, diving straight into the headlines. He responds to Tom Brady’s jab about his work ethic at Birmingham City, calling it unfair and setting the record straight. He weighs in on the Alexander Isak situation - will he stay put at Newcastle or make a move to Liverpool? Rooney reflects on similar moments from his own career, including a wild night when masked men showed up at his house, convinced he was forcing a transfer from Manchester United. He shares what really happened and what was going through his mind. Wayne opens up about his chat with Jack Grealish before the Everton move, revealing how he went for dinner with him and why he thinks Grealish could thrive at the club. There’s even a bold prediction for Everton’s season! And Wayne also names the Premier League’s new strikers to watch - backing Benjamin Sesko to shine at Manchester United and tipping Viktor Gyokeres to make waves at Arsenal.
