Manchester United and Real Madrid legend David Beckham is a big fan of AS Monaco midfielder James Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was included among the nominees for FIFA's player of the tournament award after scoring six goals in Colombia's five games, most memorably a superb volley on the turn against Uruguay in the last 16.
Beckham said: "His goal for me was one of the best of the tournament - as a young player, to have that thought, the way he moved into the ball, the way he turned and struck the ball.
"I've heard about him quite a few times and people told me he was a great talent, but to come on to the world stage at his age and play the way he's played, says how talented he is.
"I think he's got a great future. He's such a talented player and he's a good-looking kid as well, he's got the whole package."
