Rodwell has featured primarily as a midfielder for Everton, but many believe this commanding presence is best suited to a position at center-back.
The Southport-born midfielder made his full Everton debut as a substitute against AZ Alkmaar at the age of just 16 years and 284 days to become the youngest ever Toffees player to play in Europe.
Rodwell is considered a certainty by many observers to accumulate multiple caps for England, such is his ability to influence a game with an all-action style that encompasses a tenacious tackle and thunderbolt finish among other assets.
Some of the Premier League's big hitters are said to be circling, with Manchester United and Arsenal rumored to be keen on his signature.
