James Rodriguez has taken to Instagram to bid farewell to Everton fans after leaving the Toffees for Qatari side Al-Rayyan on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old ended all speculation over his long-term future at Everton by joining Al-Rayyan for an undisclosed fee after missing all of the Blues fixtures this season.
James travelled to the Middle East for talks on Sunday after initially being reluctant to make the move to the Qatari Stars League.

The Colombia international's move means Everton fans never got to see him play in the flesh at Goodison Park and Rodriguez lamented the fact in his post.
'I want to thank my teammates, who welcomed me well, I wish them the best and I also want to thank Everton fans,' he wrote.
'A pity not to have played in Goodison Park with you, it would have been very nice.
'I always tried to give my best and I always wanted to win , that is my mentality. I wish you all the best. JR10.'
