da spicy bet:
da heads bet: Fulham are reportedly set to make a last minute attempt to beat Everton to the loan signing of American midfielder Landon Donovan.
Donovan spent two-and-a-half months on loan at Everton last season and his desire to return to the Premier League on a temporary basis has alerted the attention of Fulham boss Mark Hughes.
Both David Moyes and Mark Hughes have bemoaned their lack of fire-power recently, but have also expressed concern at the cost of bringing Premier League quality striker to their respective clubs.
In regards to possible loan moves in January, Moyes said: “We know we need a striker, but the sort of money it will cost… it is probably a reality that we will have to look at bringing in a loan player.”
Fulham boss Mark Hughes also admitted that his he could be tempted to look at the loan market in order to bring in a new striker: “But more often than not strikers cost a lot of money at Premier League level, so we will have to see.”
Donovan’s record in with the LA Galaxy is very impressive. Despite not being an out-and-out striker he has managed to score 71 goals in 156 games, and in a previous spell at the San Jose Earthquakes he netted 32 times in 87 games
Should Donovan choose Fulham then he would have the chance to link up with USA team mate Clint Dempsey who he played with during the 2010 World Cup.
