# James Rodriguez shows off impressive skills during Everton training video

Everton fans enjoyed a real treat yesterday when the club [released footage](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1385172566642503680) from an action packed training session.

One of the main takeaways, however, was a [clip](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1385273787852206080) involving star-man James Rodriguez.

The Colombian attacker produced a fantastic bit of skill when a long ball was played to him.

To which Rodriguez responded with a sublime touch to pluck the ball out of the air and under control.

Plenty of fans enjoyed the clip with a frenzy of amazement in the replies…

This also included a response from former Toffees midfielder Peter Reid, [who said](https://twitter.com/reid6peter/status/1385289407826173959) James had ‘a touch like fine wine’.

It is fair to say that the 29-year-old is a more than capable player to handle himself in the Premier League.

One of the best bits about him [joining Everton](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-rodriguez/transfers/spieler/88103/transfer_id/3050420) is that the club didn’t have to spend a penny.

The Toffees’ acquisition of James has to be one of the best bits of business done by the club in a long time.

A player of his ability and skill is worth a lot of money in todays market.

The attacker has enjoyed his football since coming to Merseyside, with him [managing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-rodriguez/leistungsdaten/spieler/88103) 6 goals and 5 assists so far this season.

With the club [set to face](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56768616) Arsenal in the Premier League tonight, lets hope for some James Rodriguez magic.
