Landon Donovan has been a revelation as an Everton player since his arrival in January from LA Galaxy, but his loan deal is set to expire and manager David Moyes believes the chances of the player extending his stay are unlikely. The American has sparkled with the Merseyside squad, becoming a quick fan favourite for his quick pace and goal scoring ability.

"We’d like him to stay but it looks like he’s going back," said Moyes. "We respect that and don’t have a problem with it. I think we and Landon would be keen but he is here for the Birmingham game next week. Maybe there is a bit of time to see if anything can be done but, if not, you could see what the supporters thought of him.”

The Everton faithful will be disappointed to lose Donovan, who scored a goal and set up another in the side’s 5-1 win over Hull on Sunday.
