According to Daily Star, Real Madrid attacking midfielder, James Rodriguez might be on his wayto Chelsea soonest.The club is said to have a good relationship with the player's agent, Jorge Mendes. This could be instrumental in luring the 24-year old Colombian to Stamford Bridge.James has had a difficult time at Madrid since Rafael Benitez arrival. The player has not had enough playing time due to Rafa's rotation policy. This has reportedly left the World Cup Golden Boot winner frustrated, as he desires more playing time.The technically gifted left footer have scored 20times in 56 appearances for Madrid. The player has always been linked with the Blues, and was even recently mentioned in a swap deal involvinganother Chelsea star, Eden Hazard.Rodriguez, who is very quick, talented and also agood finisher, will obviously be a good addition tothe Chelsea team, as they have lost impetus in attack since the the beginning of the season andcould also prove to be Guus Hiddink's first signing in his second spell at Chelsea.As Chelsea hope to reawaken the performance that saw them win the league seven months ago, and with the future of Cesc Fabregas not certain, the acquisition of James Rodriguez would obviously be a great replacement for the Spanish playmaker who has fallen out with a section of the fans that believed, Fabregas was part of the trio that instigated Jose Mourinho's sack.James Rodriguez moved from FC Porto to Monacofor €45million and subsequently to Real Madrid for €80million. The Colombia international scored 25 goals in 3 seasons at Portugal.

He also holds an 82.5 pass success percentage. He is a gifted player who can hold on to the ball, makekey passes and has also proven to be a good crosser of the ball.

N igerians must move on together as a breakup is not an option, former Senate President, David Mark, said on Friday. “Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles. We cannot reverse ourselves,” Mr. Mark told Kaduna State Acting Governor, Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna. He was at the head of a delegation of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the acting governor. “The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united,” he was further quoted as saying by his media aide, Paul Mumeh. “We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation." “There is no use heating up the polity,” the ex-Senate president added. He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.
