Everton boss Rafa Benitez has told James Rodriguez wants he needs to do to get into the team.
Benitez insists he hasn't shut the door on the Colombia midfielder.
But he says: “I think he realised that there were a lot of things that he had to improve on. He has to concentrate, he has to show his commitment. If he stays with us, that's good news for us because he can give us a little more.
“It wasn't easy because he was available in the transfer window.
“We have no doubt about his quality, but we have to be sure that we have players who play 90 minutes with the intensity we want."
