The Internet is ablaze with the news that LA Galaxy midfielder and US National Team star Landon Donovan has finalized a loan deal sending him to Everton in the Barclay’s Premier League.
The rumors of the move first surfaced yesterday. The BBC is reporting today that the move is in the final stages of closing. MLS has yet to make an announcement or comment on the move, possibly because it has not been 100% finalized. The loan is reportedly for three months, beginning when the January transfer window opens. This will allow Donovan to return to the Galaxy for the start of the 2010 MLS season.
Many USMNT fans, myself included, would like to see the loan extend through the remainder of the EPL season, but given Bruce Arena’s comments at the end of the MLS season, that is unlikely. The Galaxy will already be without David Beckham through the end of the World Cup, provided Beckham makes the England squad. The chances the Galaxy want to play half a season without their captain and top ticket draw when Beckham is already out are slim to none. Recent reports have slim leaving town on the next bus.
