Derby boss Wayne Rooney continues to be linked with Rafa Benitez's job at Everton.

Rooney, 36, has impressed this season in charge of Championship crisis club Derby, in his first managerial role.

And Jamie Redknapp reckons the former England captain might be the man for the job at Goodison.

Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, Redknapp said: "People are talking about Wayne Rooney, the job he is doing at Derby is out of this world.

"The fact that he's even got them in the position to stay up, this would be the greatest escape of all time.

"Whether he's the right fit, I don't know, but these are the options they will be looking at."
