"I think he is definitely (ready for his first England call-up). Over the last couple of years with England, we've seen players getting an opportunity with England who haven't deserved the opportunity," said Rooney on Amazon Prime.
"That's my opinion. I think Nwaneri, he's showing he's got the temperament the right attitude to be in that squad.
"If he keeps doing what he's doing he'll have a great chance."
