🗣️ 'I tried to bring him in on loan - it didn't get close after I enquired, and then a week later he was in the first team.'
Wayne Rooney has revealed he tried to bring in an Arsenal star into his Derby County team, but didn't get 'anywhere' near signing the youngster before he became integral to Mikel Arteta's side.Rooney opened up about a lot of topics on Monday night, as he joined Jamie Carragher in the Sky Sports studio for Monday Night Football.
The latter would have particularly surprised Rooney, who revealed that he'd tried to get Smith Rowe on loan before the 21-year-old soon became an integral part of the team. Smith Rowe went on loan to fellow Championship side Huddersfield Town in January 2020, until the end of that season, where he impressed.The number 10 played 19 games for the Terriers for the second half of the season, scoring twice, before returning to the Emirates at the end of the season.
The young forward didn't start any league games throughout October and November 2020 and the new Derby boss might have thought at that time he had a chance to make the loan move.
