Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan has expressed his delight at returning to Everton on a two-month loan deal.
The USA international midfielder joined the Premier League club in January 2010 on loan for two months, and endeared himself to the officials and fans alike following his impressive performances in 13 competitive matches.
With the MLS season now taking a break, Donovan has moved to the Toffees on a similar deal and is overjoyed to have done so.
Familiar faces
"It's very good to be back," he enthused on
Sky Sports News. "I am excited.
"It's good to see the faces and fortunately the first face I saw was that of Phil Neville, who had a lot to say. It's good to be back and to see everyone.
"There are a few faces I had not seen before so it's nice to meet them, and also to see the old faces. It's good to be back in training.
"Who wouldn't want to come back to this? Just walking through this morning it felt good," added Donovan.
"The minute I stepped off the plane two years ago and got to Goodison to watch Everton's game against Carlisle, I felt wanted here, I felt respected and I felt like a piece of their family.
"And that resonates and stays with you. So when I had the opportunity this year, there was no doubt that if it could work out, then I wanted to come back."
