Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard says new loan signing Landon Donovan will have no problem adjusting to the pace of the Premier League. Donovan joins Everton from LA Galaxy and is a US teammate of Howard's.

"In terms of the general standard the critics are probably right to say the MLS doesn't match the Premier League," said the goalkeeper.

"But Landon has shown he can play on the world stage time and time again.

"He will have no problem adapting to the Premier League, absolutely no problem. There are certain players that exceed the standard over in the States and Landon is one of them.

"He is a talented player, he has won so many player-of-the-year awards and MVP's so he has been really, really good. He is still only a young guy too at just 27.

"Landon will be fantastic for us. He possesses a lot of skill that will see him do really well at Goodison."
