England defender Gary Cahill insists that international teammate and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will become a legendary figure for English football.

England defender Gary Cahill has insisted that teammate Wayne Rooney will one day be considered as a legendary player for his country.

Rooney has the chance to become England's all-time leading scorer on Tuesday night against Switzerland, as a single goal would see the 29-year-old surpass Bobby Charlton's record of 49 international goals for the Three Lions.

"He's a top player. Sometimes you take people for granted when they've been around for so long, but he is still at a young age compared to what he has done in the game," said Cahill, according to the Football Association's official website.

"By the time he finishes his career, if you put down on a piece of paper all his achievements then I'm sure that will go down as legendary, not just for England but for his club, too."

Rooney has made 106 appearances for his country in a career that has so far stretched 12 years.
