Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has told Wayne Rooney to have a second thought before deciding to move to a London club. The Manchester United forward has been linked with a move to both Chelsea and Arsenal.
According to reports, Rooney is unhappy in Manchester and is looking for a fresh challenge. His wife Coleen is also eager to move to London at some point in the future with the children.<br />
However, he hasn't been receiving all the positive advice from former Gunners captain Adams that he would have hoped for: "I'm not sure Wayne Rooney could handle London, to be completely honest. That would be a massive risk. I don't think it's a question of finances. I think it's his temperament and mentality. London is a different animal and it takes a different type of player.<br />
"Wayne is unquestionably a super player and I'd love to see him at Arsenal. Technically he's fantastic but I'm not sure about him mentally, off the pitch, and his professionalism.<br />
"I know Sir Alex Ferguson has dealt with Wayne brilliantly over the last few years and I'm sure Arsene Wenger could handle him, but I'm not sure. I wouldn't like to spend my money on Wayne."
