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.
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.
"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.
"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."
