This has been one fot eh biggest news stories that has been shaking up the sport, Donovan signing a new MLS deal, and is on short term loan to Everton. One of the most celebrated American footballers is always news, especially when it concerns crossing the pond to play for a good football club. The 27 year old star is coming off of one of his best seasons, and he is only going to get better with more play. The star has been entertaining rumors for a couple of weeks now, and has finally put all of the rumor mills out of business with this announcement.

The loan to Everton is only going to last about 10 weeks, as per his contract. Of course, the move is great because he can make an impact in one of the country’s most respected clubs, and could possibily open up a larger fan base for the star, if it all goes well. Considering the fact that he could play wing or up front, he is sure to shine if he is having a good day, and considering the season that he has had last yeat, it is very probable that the fans will love and respect him as much as the United States fans have throughout his years as a professional footballer.

It is noteworthy to state that Donovan has relocated to play for Munich in the past, but he did not make as much of an impact as he hoped.
