Atletico Madrid are chasing Everton midfielder Stephen Pienaar.

The Daily Mail says the Spaniards believe they have a chance of luring the skilful South African away because he is one of the few Everton players not to have been offered a new long term contract.

The 27-year-old, who is 18 months into a three year deal at Everton, has been in outstanding form this season and has also attracted interest from Russian champions Rubin Kazan.
