Steven Pienaar has been warned he would be making a mistake if he decided to leave Everton.
Tottenham are among a number of clubs reported to be monitoring the South African midfielder’s situation following an impressive season with David Moyes’s side.
Pienaar has just over a year left on his contract at Goodison Park and cash-strapped Everton would find it hard to resist a sizeable offer this summer, if the player decides he wants to move.
Moyes however is convinced that would not be in the player’s best interest.
“Steven Pienaar is at a club that really suits him and sometimes a player has to decide what is best for them,” Moyes told the Liverpool Echo.
“Everton has been good for Steven. If anybody wanted to leave, they’d be poorer for it. Most people that have left here, it’s not tended to work out for them.”
Pienaar has been at Everton since 2007, having initially moved from Borussia Dortmund on a loan deal. — AFP
