James To Everton: Greatest Theft Of The Century

JAKARTA - James Rodriguez has only worked under Carlo Ancelotti at Everton for a month, but he has already beaten the Premier League.

In just 30 days, the Colombian proved everyone who doubted anyone wrong. He was even voted in the media version of the 'Best signing XI of the summer'.

James has been named man of the match at Everton's games against Tottenham, West From, Crystal Palace and Brighton, as well as being nominated for the Premier League Player of the Year award for September.

Launched MARCA, Thursday, October 8, his brilliant performance led some British media to label his arrival as "the heist of the century".

Few can believe that a player of James's quality is available on the market for just 25 million euros due to the situation he experienced at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Sporting Life's media made James their headline. "He has been a significant threat in every game," they wrote.

"It could be Everton's theft of the century if this performance continues."

In just one month on Merseyside, James had surpassed the previous 12 months he had spent in Madrid. In just five games in England, James has scored three goals and provided numerous assists.

The Colombian's influence has seen the Toffees take the top spot in the Premier League table at this early stage. Next, they will meet city rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park after the international break.

Everton fans will certainly hope their new star can continue his recent form against Jurgen Klopp's side to add to the woes of the Reds who recently hauled Aston Villa 7-2.
