Chelsea backed to complete stunning deal for Man Utd striker in January





Wayne Rooney has been backed to join Chelsea





CHELSEA have been installed as favourites by a leading bookmaker to land Wayne Rooney in January.

 

The Blues are in the hunt for a new striker, with Radamel Falcao struggling for form.

Recent reports have suggested Jose Mourinho could spring a surprise move for Manchester United reject Javier Hernandez.

 

But one leading bookmaker thinks Rooney could be Stamford Bridge bound.

SkyBet have offered odds of 7/1 for Rooney to make the switch to Chelsea.

Paris Saint-Germain are second favourites at 10/1, while Arsenal are outsiders at 20/1.

Rooney has been the subject of Chelsea interest before and United rejected a bid in the summer of 2013 when David Moyes was in charge.
