USA international Landon Donovan has been granted a work permit to finalise his move to Everton from Los Angeles Galaxy.

Everton confirmed last week that the versatile attacker had agreed terms to move to Goodison Park in January on a loan deal until mid-March.

Donovan, who recently signed a new long-term contract with Galaxy, had been interesting several clubs, but opted for a switch to the Toffees.

He has now been given the necessary clearance to start his spell with the Premier League club on 2nd January as he looks to maintain his fitness ahead of the World Cup finals.

Toffees boss David Moyes revealed his hope that Donovan would be the first of two or three new arrivals in the New Year as he looks to boost his injury-hit squad.
