Monaco winger James Rodriguez linked with Premier League switch

Monaco winger James Rodriguez has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur touted as possible destinations.

The Colombian World Cup star was strongly linked with a move to Napoli, but the English clubs have designs to hijack the transfer, talkSPORT reports.

"The Neapolitans are not the only ones that are following Rodriguez. Let's see what the future holds," the player's agent Aytekin Erayabakan told Italian website AreaNapoli.

"There are several European clubs after him, but it's best not to say anything at the moment. How much will he cost? I don't know. But what I can say is that his price has increased after the way he's played these past few months."

Rodriguez has played a prominent role in Colombia's World Cup campaign, helping the South Americans reach the last 16 of the tournament.
