Wayne Rooney is finally happy again since returning home to Everton .
Rooney has already scored twice in pre-season following his switch from Manchester United and Blues great Trevor Steven has noted the striker’s new mood.
Rooney was pictured grinning with some of his Everton pals at the final day of The Open at Royal Birkdale, prompting Steven to tweet: “I have never seen Wayne Rooney so happy. Team spirit at Everton is sky high.”
Everton boss Ronald Koeman is delighted with the impact Rooney has already made in his two weeks back at Goodison Park.
“He’s an important player on the pitch, but also important for his team-mates and certainly the young players to show them what you need to do to reach that high standard of football,” he said.
“That means he needs to be a leader off the pitch and when I see how he’s working and what he’s doing with all the players, it’s really what we want.
“Every day in training so far and in the friendlies, you see why he’s one of the best in his position and one of the best players.”
