Spurs complete Pienaar deal

Steven Pienaar tonight completed his move to Tottenham after signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with the London club.

The 28-year-old midfielder passed a medical at Spurs’ Chigwell training ground before putting the finishing touches to his transfer from Everton for a fee believed to be between £2.5m and £3m.

Earlier confirming his destination on his Twitter account, Pienaar said: “To end speculation I am going to Spurs. I’ve had brilliant years at Everton and it will always be a special place in my heart.”

He later added: “I can also confirm I’ll be jersey number 40.”
