Key midfielder hints over Everton future despite missing ingredient Date published: Sunday 13th June 2021 2:07 - Neil Foster James Rodriguez has left the door open regarding his Everton career following reports that he will follow Carlo Ancelotti out of the club this summer. The 29-year-old moved to Goodison Park on a free transfer last summer. The Colombia ace penned a two-year deal and made 21 Premier League starts among 23 outings during his first season. He suffered a series of niggling injuries that hampered his progress but managed to find the net on six occasions. It was hoped the big-name signing would help the Toffees break into the top six and even challenge the top four. But the Merseysiders only managed to finish tenth and will not play European football next term.
