Liverpool(England), Nov 22: Fallen star Paul Gascoigne warned teenage sensation Wayne Rooney on Friday not to put his career at risk by bidding an early farewell to
hometown club Everton.
Former England International Gascoigne, who left his roots at Newcastle as a 21-year-old for Tottenham in 1988 before his career eventually went into freefall, believes 17-year-old Rooney should not be tempted by speculation linking him with a big-money move to Chelsea.
"At his age, he's definitely got to stay with Everton," said Gascoigne, now 36, and trying to rebuild his career with wolves.
"He's got to because sometimes you look at the likes of Joe Cole and Damien Duff, who moved to Chelsea in the summer, and they are getting a game every other week.
"At Everton, he's getting well looked after and it looks like he's getting a decent pay packet. He should stick to his roots."
