Everton have completed the signing of Tottenham midfielder Steven Pienaar.

The South Africa international left Goodison Park for White Hart Lane but failed to establish himself under Harry Redknapp and returned on loan a year later and the short-term switch has now been made permanent.

“I am happy to be here,” Pienaar told evertontv. “It took a few weeks to sort out but I am delighted to be back and excited to play for Everton.

“There was no doubt in my mind that I would be back here. At the end of the season I told the manager how I felt and I am happy now it is all done.”
