Donovan not averse to extending Everton stay

Landon Donovan has admitted there is a chance he could extend his 10-week stay at Everton if all parties are in agreement. The USA international has enjoyed his time in England far more than an unfulfilling stint with Bayern Munich last season and would be open to a longer deal.

"I've been made to feel so welcome and when you're welcome like that you don't want to let anyone down. It's a sharp contrast to how I felt last year when I was at Munich," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"It's a little more individual and selfish there. Here they make you feel part of a family and you keep going because you don't want to let anyone down.

"The future is out of my control. I want to enjoy this experience. That means I show up for training and I'm ready. I show up for the game and I'm ready.

"But who knows what will happen in the future. Football's funny and you never know what could happen.

"If I look back after 10 weeks and say I really want to stay then maybe I can make that happen. If I say OK it was good, but I'm ready to go then I can go, but for now I'm taking it week by week."
