Midfielder set for return
Everton and Tottenham have opened talks over Steven Pienaar, Sky Sports can confirm.
The South African midfielder finished last season back at Goodison Park on loan, and he remains a hugely popular figure at the club.
Everton were reluctant sellers when he moved to Tottenham in 2011 and he was never able to command a regular first-team place under Harry Redknapp.
Now Everton have made their move to bring the 30-year-old back to the club on a permanent basis.
It is believed a deal of around £5million is close, with Everton hopeful of tying up the move next week.
