James Rodriguez is clearly missing the delights of the north Liverpool coastline, as he has spoken again about possibly making a return to Everton.
The Colombia superstar left Goodison Park ahead of the current campaign, having had a season of ups and downs in his only term on Merseyside.
Rodriguez moved to Everton to link up with former manager Carlo Ancelotti in the summer of 2020 and at the start of the 2020-21 season his mercurial talent pushed the Toffees towards the top of the Premier League table.
However, injuries and inconsistency blighted the second half of his debut campaign and when Ancelotti left the club to return to Real Madrid it felt inevitable that the playmaker would follow him out of the Goodison Park exit door.

He eventually joined Al-Rayyan without playing a game for then manager Rafael Benitez.
It was a sale that split the supporters, as the Toffees were able to lift Rodriguez's wages of the bill, albeit there was nobody else in the squad with natural talent to compare to his.
With Benitez sacked and Frank Lampard appointed, Rodriguez said recently he would be open to making a return to Everton.
And speaking on Twitch via Semana (h/t Sport Witness ), the 30-year-old has doubled down on those claims.
"It would be a possibility," Rodriguez said. "If they want to, I would be open to that. I didn’t have any problems with anyone there."
With his new club the midfielder has been performing well, netting four goals and grabbing five assists in the Qatar Stars League.
"Go back to Everton one day? Of course I would go back to Everton," Rodriguez previously said in another Twitch stream.
"It's a spectacular club with incredible fans, but I found a coach who didn't want to count on me.
"I wanted to stay there but the manager didn't want to count on me. Until the last day I was super-professional and I trained to the fullest.
"I wanted to be remembered as I am, a good person and a great professional. It was the coach's decision. Some people love you and others don't, you have to respect that."
