Everton have confirmed that they have signed Los Angeles Galaxy forward Landon Donovan on a short-term loan deal.
The USA international will now join the Toffees in the New Year and will stay at Goodison Park until mid-March.
"Landon Donovan will join Everton. It is all agreed and done now and hopefully he will be with us on January 1 or 2," Everton boss David Moyes said at Friday's press conference.
"Landon will certainly add pace, he is a good finisher.
"He was voted best player, yet again, in the American league and is captain of the USA national team.
"I need players who can hit the ground running, who I think can go into the team quite quickly and make an impact.
"With his experience and the goals he has scored, I am hoping he will be able to do that."
Donovan is his country's leading international goalscorer and is also their most capped player with 120 appearances.
Regarded as his nation's best ever player, he won the MLS Most Valuable player and goal of the season awards for the 2009 campaign, which concluded last month.
The 27-year-old has previously played in Europe for Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.
