Everton star James Rodriguez responds to heartfelt Yerry Mina message

Everton new boy James Rodriguez has been inundated with message of good luck following his landmark move to Goodison Park.

And one standout message was from Colombia team-mate Yerry Mina.

The Blues defender is clearly excited to have his compatriot join him at Everton and shared a special message on Instagram to welcome his friend to the club.

Mina, who joined from Barcelona in 2018, shared pictured of the pair playing together at international level and wrote: "From Colombia to England.

"Big things are coming by your side, brother. Thank God for crossing our paths.

"It will be a pleasure to enjoy with you in this great club."

Rodriguez, who was officially unveiled as Everton's new number 19 on Monday evening, replied to the heartfelt message.

The 29-year-old attacking midfielder responded: "Vamos hermano" which translates into English from Spanish as "Let's go brother".

This particular message received just under 6,000 likes, at the time of writing.

Mina's original post, meanwhile, had racked up more than 230k in likes.
