Everton have confirmed they have reached agreement to re-sign American star Landon Donovan from Los Angeles Galaxy in January.
Donovan
is already well known to The Toffees having spent time on loan with the club in 2010, playing ten games for the club.
The 29-year-old has now agreed to a new loan and will link-up with Everton
over the Christmas period, and will be eligible to make his debut on January 4th against Bolton.
"I am delighted that we have managed to get Landon back. He will give us some good experience over January and February," Toffees boss David Moyes
told the club's website.
"He did well for us when he was over two years ago and hopefully will return with those same qualities.
"His season has just finished and like last time we need him to hit the ground running because the games come thick and fast at this time of year."

Donovan confirmed he was delighted to make the move back to Merseyside.
"The opportunity to return to Everton and play for such a well-respected club and a manager that I hold in such high regard was something that was simply too good to pass up," he said.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Everton in 2010 and I'm hopeful that we can experience similar success this time around.
"I want to thank David Moyes and Bruce Arena,
as well as executives from both clubs and Major League Soccer for allowing me this unique and special opportunity."
Donovan is set to return to America on February 26th, meaning he could play a maximum of eight Premier League games.
Galaxy chief Bruce Arena, wished his star man well for his spell away from the club.
"This is a great opportunity for Landon," Arena said.
"During the final months of the 2011 season he was limited because of an ongoing injury and he just started to get his legs back during the playoffs.
"Therefore, I think that this opportunity with Everton comes at a perfect time as he is rested and ready to go. We wish Landon and Everton the very best and look forward to Landon returning to the Galaxy on February 26th."
