since he impressed at the World Cup and the Colombian has now signed a contract

medical.
James started his professional career with Envigado and also wore the Banfield
and Porto jerseys before joining Monaco for €45m last year.

league appearances to help Monaco to second place in the table and

sublime performances for Colombia, earning himself a move to Madrid in the
process.

the world at 20:00CET on Tuesday.
