Everton hope to wrap up a deal for Tottenham midfielder Steven Pienaar today.

The Liverpool Echo says Pienaar is expected on Merseyside today to undergo a medical, after the Blues agreed a fee with Spurs for the midfielder over the weekend.

If all goes to plan, Pienaar, 30, will complete his permanent return to Goodison on Tuesday.

Pienaar's agent Rob Moore confirmed the breakthrough in talks between Everton and the Londoners, when he published a blog on a website he promotes stating that the agreement had been reached.
