Newcastle superkid Armstrong: Rooney's advice to me...

Newcastle United striker Adam Armstrong is enjoying his football on-loan at Coventry City.

But he sees his future in the Premier League.

Armstrong told The Sun: “The likes of Rooney and Aguero — those players I look up to.

“Rooney is the type of player who likes to drop in and get on the ball. I think I'm capable of doing that.

“Aguero plays on shoulders and gets goals. That's what I'm doing at this level and I just need to keep it up and push on next season.

“I met Rooney when I went away with the Under-18s. He came into one of our meetings. I stayed behind and asked him questions about what I need to do to improve myself.

“He said to just keep doing what I was doing, stay behind after training, do your finishing stuff and things will go well."
