Rodriguez will play wing or attacking midfield along with attackers Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, Wales' Gareth Bale, Frenchman Karim Benzema and recently acquired Toni Kroos of the World Cup champions' Germany.

James scored a total of six goals in Brazil to win the covenant Golden Boot award. Germany's Thomas Muller came in second with five goals while Brazilian star Neymar came in third with four.

Rodriguez's goal against Uruguay was voted the best goal in the World Cup. This was when he chested the ball down and lunged it in the net.

The Columbian forward will join the squad on August 1 and is expected to wear the jersey No. 10 since the number was vacated by German Mesut Ozil who left for the Arsenal Football Club.
