Steven Pienaar is looking increasingly likely to leave Goodison Park as efforts to persuade him to sign a £60,000 a week deal are failing.

David Moyes has resigned himself to losing the South African either for a small fee in January or on a free next summer when his current contract runs out despite trying everything to persuade him to stay at the club.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is reportedly convinced that he has won the race for Pienaar, beating the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal to his services.

Moyes has been on the lookout for a replacement for the past six months and still harbours hopes of persuading Landon Donovan back to the club for a second loan spell.
