Donovan: I will only play for Everton

Landon Donovan may be back in California but he will not be forgetting his Liverpool experience with Everton anytime soon.

Speaking at a press conference the American forward pledged his allegiance to Everton: "If I ever went back to England I would only want to play for Everton.

"Playing at Goodison Park is really special. As much talk there is about getting a new stadium, there's something about a historic place. People have gone there for years. I'm just a player there for 10 weeks; this is their life."

Donovan's 10-week spell saw him perform impressively against the English giants: Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

The American assimilated into the English game quickly and won over Goodison Park in no time and even had the fans chanting "USA - You Must Stay" in his last match.

"Consistently, it's the highest level I've played at," the U.S. international said. "That was intense.

"I consciously didn't have any expectations," the LA Galaxy captain said. "I wanted to take each day as it came and make the most of it. I went with an open mind. It's funny what happens when you do that."

Speaking about his stay in England the American said: "The people in England in general are pretty witty, humorous. The biggest difference for me was the locker room. From the minute I walked in, I could feel the energy. It was a different culture to be in."
