– The Colombian is joining his fifth club since scoring six goals for his country at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
– James has made 86 appearances for Colombia and scored 24 goals, but his club career has often failed to match his national team success. His 11-year run at major European clubs ended in 2021 with a lackluster spell in the Premier League at Everton.
– Olympiakos, who are playing in the Europa League this season, are in third place in the Greek league with eight points, four behind leader Panathinaikos.
