SINGAPORE -- Bayern Munich new boy James Rodriguez is looking forward to facing his "amazing" former teammate Alvaro Morata in Singapore on Tuesday as the Bundesliga champions take on Chelsea in the International Champions Cup (ICC).

James played alongside the new Chelsea striker at Real Madrid and believes the Premier League champions have made a shrewd signing.

"Alvaro is an amazing player," James said. "I think he will do very well at Chelsea. Even though he had limited game time with Real Madrid, he did amazing things, and I wish him all the best for this season.
