Tim Howard believes Everton will try to re-sign LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan in January.
Donovan was a big hit at Goodison last season after starting a 13-game loan stint in January before the American MLS campaign started in March.
Fellow American international Howard said: "I'd like to see him back. I have not spoken to him in any depth but I get the impression he had a fantastic time here and, even more than his success on the field, he was welcomed off it.
"He fitted in really well with the players, and the fans took to him so I am sure he would want to have that experience again."
