Everton set to land Donovan on loan

EVERTON last night confirmed they have “agreed a deal in principle” with the Los Angeles Galaxy for forward Landon Donovan to join the Merseyside club on a two-and-a-half-month loan in January.

Donovan had earlier committed his long-term future to Galaxy by signing a new four-year deal.

Meanwhile, Everton manager David Moyes will press some of the club’s promising youngsters into Europa League action tonight and makes no apologies for doing so.
