Los Angeles Galaxy star Landon Donovan could make a return to Everton this season.
The United States legend enjoyed a three-month loan spell with the Toffees last season, and preliminary talks have been held about Donovan returning to Goodison Park permanently.
The 28-year-old said: “I would love to go back to Everton. I love the people there and I love the fans there.
“But that being said, I love being in American too, so we are going to take everything into account and see where it ends up.
“Anything is possible at this stage and I’m going to make the decision that’s best for me.
“We hear little bits and pieces here and there and there have certainly been clubs that are interested but right now, it’s only preliminary.
“There’s still a lot of time left in the transfer window, so we’ll see what moves are made and, if it’s serious, then we’ll treat it seriously.”
