Once a Toffee, Always a Toffee?

While David Beckham looks to be on his way to Paris-St. Germain, Landon Donovan could be returning to Everton on a second loan deal.

In 2010, Donovan had a successful loan spell with the Toffees before returning to the Galaxy, and could be back with them to help boost their chances of staying in the Premier League.

"It's something we will probably look at to see if there's an interest from him," Everton manager David Moyes told the New York Post. "He was popular here, and we could do with some speed and width on the right."
