James Rodriguez: Will Colombia's star return to his best form at Everton?

It is now over six years since James Rodriguez chested the ball up for himself and crashed a stunning volley in off the underside of the bar against Uruguay at the 2014 World Cup.  

With that volley winning the Puskas award for best goal of the year in world football and five other strikes earning him the World Cup's Golden Boot, James was primed to become a global star. His first season at Real Madrid suggested the Spanish team had got their hands on a player who would shine for years to come.

But despite 13 goals and 13 assists in Spain's top flight in 2014/15, a place in La Liga's team of the year, and being named the competition's best midfielder, James became a peripheral figure the following season under new head coach Zinedine Zidane.
