He has the qualities of a No. 9 and is capable of finishing with a shot from the head or with either foot with great effectiveness."

Praised for his pace, technical skills, vision, and his ability to create chances for teammates as an advanced playmaker, James' performances as a classic number 10 have led to comparisons with the famous Colombian footballer Carlos Valderrama; Valderrama himself declared James as his "successor". Although naturally left-footed, James has shown ambidexterity in his dribbling and style of
