David Moyes has reassured fans Steven Pienaar's permanent move to Everton is on course.The South African midfielder has been on loan at Goodison from German side Borussia Dortmund since July.
The two clubs agreed terms for a possible permanent transfer when the midfielder made the loan switch.
However, reports this week suggested Everton were approaching a crucial deadline concerning the clause that allows the Club to sign Pienaar for a pre-agreed fee.
The Goodison boss has responded to the reports by making it clear everything is on course concerning Pienaar's permanent switch to Everton.
He said: "As far as I know Steven Pienaar's contract is agreed, it's all done. I think it's his agent's money that isn't agreed. As far as I know everything has been done for a while, so I think it is to do with money for the agent."
That is the manager's explanation for the reports that emerged in South Africa this week.
Moyes is keen to secure Pienaar's services, having been impressed with the qualities the midfielder has brought to the Everton side this term.
He added: "Steven has done well for us. Since he came back from the African Nations he hasn't reached the standards he reached prior to that but that can happen.
"He has picked up one or two injuries which haven't allowed him to get a head of steam. Steven is one of the reasons our football has improved. He is a really good football player."

still looks a bit dodgy. many deals have fallen through in the past with clubs refusing to pay agents their million or so.

i can see the agents point of view.

"i negotiated a 2.2 million get out in the contract that you are going to take advantage of- so give me my fat wedge!"

so.. give the agent over the odds and get peanuts for buttons or stand firm in the world of agent blackmail and pass up the deal?
