Landon Donovan would be happy to extend his loan deal at Everton a
little longer before he returns to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The attacking midfielder scored and set up a goal as a
second-half substitute in Everton's 5-1 victory over Hull on
Sunday. Afterward he said there was a chance he might continue
playing in the Premier League before returning to America in time
for the Major League Soccer season later this month.
"First of all, winning was important and it's nice to get a
goal," Donovan said. "There is a chance. We will know more this
week.
"The fans, the people here are fantastic, the players are
fantastic. I've enjoyed it here tremendously."
Donovan still has a game with Everton at Birmingham on
Saturday.
"I said to him 'go on and finish (at home) with a goal,"'
Everton manager David Moyes said. "I thought he finished it great.
The efforts he has put in for us over the past two months is
terrific."
Moyes said he would talk with the Galaxy about keeping
Donovan a little longer.
"I might try and see if I can extend it a little bit longer
but, at the moment, the word from America is that it won't be
possible and we respect that decision," Moyes said.
