Wayne gives an inside view from the stands as Arsenal edged Everton 1-0, with Declan Rice impressing him more than anyone on the night and asked whether he could be the next England captain?

He also pushes back on the criticism of Viktor Gyökeres, explaining why the striker is actually doing far more for Arsenal than many realise, and debates whether Mikel Arteta’s side are ruthless enough to go all the way and win the Premier League. There’s a deep dive into Leeds United too, with praise for Daniel Farke’s impact and Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s superb form.

Wayne discusses whether Calvert-Lewin could force his way into World Cup contention and recalls what it was like playing alongside him at Everton. You can watch The Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport YouTube, iPlayer, as well as listen on BBC Sounds.Programme WebsiteMore episodes
