Everton boss David Moyes is eager to close a deal for Tottenham midfielder Steven Pienaar.

The Daily Star Sunday says Moyes, who has been checking out players at Euro 2012, wants Bill Kenwright to sanction the funds to re-sign Pienaar.

If Moyes can land Pienaar he will see that as another reason to carry on at Everton despite the constant speculation linking him with a move away from the club.
