James Rodriguez joins Everton from Real Madrid
2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner links up with Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti for the third time
Everton have signed Colombia midfielder James Rodriguez for £22m from Real Madrid.
The 29-year-old has signed a two-year deal with an option for a third season in a move that sees him link up with Carlo Ancelotti for the third time, having played under him at Bayern Munich and Real.
Ancelotti signed James from Monaco as Real manager in 2014, but the former World Cup Golden Boot winner failed to truly establish himself in the Spanish capital, before going on a two-season loan to Bayern in 2017, by which point Ancelotti was in charge of the German side.
With one year remaining on his Real contract, James had been deemed surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu by Zinedine Zidane. ผลบอล7M
"I am really, really happy to be at this great club, a club with so much history, and here with a manager who knows me really well," he said.
"I'm looking forward to achieving great things here - and winning things, which is what everyone's aim is.
"I've come here to try to improve, to get better. I've also come here to help the team to win, to play good football - entertaining football.
