Real Madrid have signed World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez from French club Monaco.

The 23-year-old Colombia forward has agreed a six-year deal at the Bernabeu.

The reported fee of about 80million euros (£63m) makes Rodriguez the fourth most expensive transfer of all time after Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez.

Rodriguez scored six goals in five matches at the World Cup as his side reached the quarter-finals, one of which was chosen as the goal of the tournament. If you missed that one, here it is again, taken from the stands by one of the fans.
