Landon Donovan the american soccer star on loan from the LA Galaxy to Everton of the English Premiere League is hopeful of an extended stay with the club after playing in what could be his final game in front of the Goodison Park supporters against Hull City.

After the game the American revealed that there was still a possibility he could extend his stay on Merseyside.

“There is a chance,” Donovan told Sky Sports.

“We’ll know more this week; hopefully I’ll stay for a bit longer.”

His Previous loan in 2009 to FC Bayern Munich of the German Bundesliga has mostly been considered a failure.  His 10 week stay at Everton has been considered a huge success and many think he should seek a contract with Everton and leave MLS behind.

After scoring in the 82nd minute of Sunday’s match vs Hull City, Everton fans started cheering “U-S-A, YOU MUST SIGN” and “SIGN HIM UP, SIGN HIM UP”

Landon Donovan gets a lift from teammate Jack Rodwell after the U.S. star played perhaps his final home game with Everton.

“As a person it feels good to be wanted,” he said of the U-S-A chants he’d heard. “And as a player obviously it does. But I’m just appreciative of the opportunity I’ve had here, and I think they appreciate what I’ve given too, and that’s a good feeling.”

They do not want Donovan to leave Everton when his loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy ends next Monday and he has to return to California for the start of the MLS season.

Best of luck to Donovan and the USMNT.
