Landon Donovan is excited about his three-month loan spell with
Everton and cannot wait to get over to England to get it underway.
The 27-year old
LA Galaxy star will link up with his new teammates on January 1 and is full of enthusiasm about his opportunity to play in the English
Premier League.
"I am really looking forward to coming over. For any American player, or any player in the world for that matter, the opportunity to play for a club like
Everton is a very exciting one,” said the USA international.
Donovan also said that fellow countryman Tim Howard had spoken highly about the club and was looking forward to playing alongside him as well as working with manager David Moyes.
“I had heard great things from Tim about the manager and I have spoken with him myself,” he added.
"Tim and I have spoken a couple of times about it and he has told me all about the club and all about the expectations at
Everton. I'll be travelling over on January 1 and I can't wait to get started.
“I have to say I was very impressed with his (Moyes) knowledge of the game over here and of my situation personally. He was very straight and honest with me and I am really looking forward to working with him."
