More From Pre-Season
Landon Donovan has reiterated his desire to return to Everton one day.
The USA star enjoyed a 13-game spell at Goodison last season and impressed throughout his loan from LA Galaxy.
He then starred in the World Cup in South Africa and speculation over a return to Merseyside has been ongoing all summer.
Speaking in the wake of the MLS All-Star game against Manchester United in Houston this week, he said: "I would love to go back to Everton. I love the people there and I love the fans there. But that said, I love being in America too, so we are going to take everything into account and see where it ends up.
"Anything is possible at this stage and I'm going to make the decision that's best for me. We hear little bits and pieces here and there and there have certainly been clubs that are interested, but right now, it's only preliminary.
"There's still a lot of time left in the transfer window, so we'll see what moves are made and, if it's serious, then we'll treat it seriously."
Donovan, 28, scored twice during his loan spell at Everton, which took place between January and March this year. He became an instant hit with Blues' fans before returning to the LA Galaxy and then spear-heading the USA's run to the last 32 of the World Cup, where he scored twice.

Gotta agree with others who say we have to sell Yak and Yobo. I don't think either will do it for us this season. Get them sold and get Donovan in, even (dare I suggest) if it means selling Peanuts as well. I'd rather have someone who really wants to play for the clube here than someone who doesn't seem to know what he wants to do.

Come on, Mr. Kenwright! Let's find a way to bring Landon back to Goodison. He wants to be here and we always need more top-class players with the Everton spirit. I know the price is a little steep for us, but gaining unprecedented access to the U.S. market will more than pay for itself in long-term ticket/shirt sales. Trust me: as an American, no footballer commands more attention in the U.S. than Landon Donovan. Let's find the funds to put him back in blue and take the league this year! NSNO.

I am an american and I have been a die hard everton fan for years now, when Landon played in the blue he played so with more fire than I have ever seen him play, he is pure quality and he strives to be the best (nil satis nisi optimum). Bringing in the USAs star player would bring in a larger fan base which would help our club out tremendously. We only got to see a glimpse of what Landon can do and I know he can bring more. He wants to be at our club why not go for him? I know money is an issue but he is well worth the risk

Top 1 finish with Landon. Top 3 finish without Landon. EFC team unity and depth are too much for the opposition to handle!

I would love to see Landon in the royal blue jersey again,but come on fans to say lets get into 10mil of debt to make the move possible is a bit too optimistic and foolish.If we have the money to buy without Bill getting into debt then fine it would be fantastic to have him back,he has blue in his veins as we can see,he truly loves our club and its fans.Landon i hope you come back mate and if not i will always hold you in high regards NSNO

Mr Kenwright and the Board - As we are known as the peoples club all the fans want Landon Donovan back Davie Moyes Wants him back and Landon himself wants to come back you saw how he did for us when he was here he is a player who works hard and always gives 110% he is the player which could provide a final piece for the team we have been crying out for for so many years So if we are to spend any money on a transfer this year please make it Landon Donovan and please do it before the begining of the season
