Want to know a bit more about Chelsea's soon-to-be new player, Colombian Juan Cuadrado? Well who better to tell you about him than South American football expert Tim Vickery.

"James Rodriguez was Colombia's undoubted World Cup star - but Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was not far behind.

"He is at his best as a wide right midfielder - especially as over the last couple of seasons he has started scoring more goals. But he can also feature as an attacking right back, or cut in from the other flank.

"Some three years ago a Premier League giant had a look at Cuadrado but concluded that he was too old - a strange decision given that he is still only 26, and should be looking forward to playing his prime years under Jose Mourinho, who will certainly enjoy the pace on the transitions that his new Colombian acquisition will bring to the side."
