EVERTON have been placed on alert after it emerged Landon Donovan is seeking a return to European football.

The United States international made a significant impact during a 10-week loan spell at Goodison earlier this year from MLS side LA Galaxy, making 13 appearances and scoring two goals.

Everton were keen on extending Donovan’s stay but the player eventually returned home for the start of the MLS season.

The 28-year-old’s stock has since risen further following his appearances for the United States at the World Cup, during which he scored his country’s dramatic winner against Algeria that secured their place in the knockout stages.

And Donovan has now revealed there are a several offers to take him back to Europe, the forward having played at both Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich earlier his career.

“We have transfer interest and we will have some time to think about it and see where it goes,” said the American. “There is interest from a number of teams.”

Speaking earlier this week during his team’s tour of America, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini said a deal for the player was ‘possible’ although it is believed the Eastlands outfit have since cooled any interest.
