Everton coach Jimmy Lumsden knows fans want Tottenham midfielder Steven Pienaar.

Pienaar made a positive impact when he returned on-loan to Everton last season.

"He lifted the dressing room," Lumsden told the Liverpool Echo.

"They know he's a really good player and him and Bainsey play so well together.

"Steven is so enthusiastic in his training and everything he does. He is a quiet boy and if you didn't know him you wouldn't expect much, but when he steps on that pitch he has got a fantastic attitude."

Like most supporters, Lumsden would love to see Pienaar back where he belongs next term. "Apparently he said on Twitter that it was the best three months of his life," he says.

"Some people think the grass is greener when they go, but some clubs are made for you. Steven is made for Everton.

It's up to Spurs whether he comes back. He is their player and we just hope something can happen."
