The Colombia international has earned high praise from an iconic countryman, with the talented playmaker expected to lead a World Cup charge in Russia
Bayern Munich star James Rodriguez is good enough to “play for any team in the world”, according to fellow Colombian Rene Higuita.
The talented playmaker burst onto the global scene at the 2014 World Cup, with Real Madrid moving to snap him up on the back of that tournament for £63 million.
He had already represented Porto and Monaco by that point, but was recognised as one of the best creative influences in the business on the back of an impressive showing in Brazil.
