Everton accept Chelsea bid for Steven Pienaar

Football News Staff - 17 Jan 2011
Everton have accepted a bid from Premier League champions Chelsea and rejected one from Tottenham for midfield star Steven Pienaar.

The South Africa international is in the final year of his contract at Goodison Park and it has been expected that the 28-year-old would leave in either the January transfer window, if the Toffees decided to cash-in, or next summer via a Bosman free transfer.

Pienaar sat out the Merseyside derby at the weekend, which ended in a 2-2 draw, and Everton boss Moyes has now confirmed two bids for the player.

He said: “We have accepted an offer from Chelsea. Steven has not agreed terms with Chelsea.

“We've given his representatives a chance to talk to Chelsea but they've not got permission to talk to Tottenham because they've not offered the same money.

Moyes added: “If Tottenham offer the same money that may change or maybe he will agree terms with Chelsea.”
