Bellingham and Kane, two of the Three Lions’ top players, are world-class players who excel in several offensive roles.
However, Rooney responded when asked which player in the current England talent team he thought was the best: “Phil Foden, for me.”
“I know he hasn’t played that much this season for Man City but Phil Foden at his best is the best player England have got.
“Cole Palmer has been sensational since going to Chelsea and you see everything Jude Bellingham is doing at Real Madrid.
But for me Phil Foden is the one, I really enjoy watching him.”
Regarding the current team’s chances of winning trophies, Rooney continued, “They’re very talented.”
At the previous two World Cups, Southgate guided England to the quarter-finals and semifinals as well as back-to-back finals at the European Championship, reports Football 365
Regarding Southgate, Rooney went on: “He was unbelievable.
“To get England to two finals and a semi-final, he’s done something no one else has done since 1966. He got us really close to winning a trophy so yeah, I think he did a fantastic job.”
