Many Everton fans have been left happy by the latest transfer news on James Rodriguez.

Speaking to Radyospor (via Fotomac), Turkish football agent Ahmet Bulut has now claimed that there 'was a chance' that the former Real Madrid star would move to Turkey, but he had no intention to go.

Rodriguez thought that he 'might get a chance' in England again, amid strong interest from Istanbul Basaksehir.

The Colombia international was a key player for the Goodison Park faithful when fit last season, scoring six goals and making a further nine assists in 26 matches in total over all competitions (Transfermarkt).

With that in mind, if the player is serious about knuckling down and 'getting a chance' again on Merseyside, then it would no doubt be a boost to the attacking talent at Rafael Benitez's disposal.

Nonetheless, Rodriguez will now be hoping that he can kick on and prove to the Toffees fans that a controversial last few weeks can be put firmly in the rear view mirror.
