According to a report in the British tabloid the Daily
Mail, English Premier League club Everton have rejected a bid
from Russian club Rubin Kazan for Steven Pienaar.
The South African international, who has won 36 full caps to date,
signed a permanent deal with the Toffees in 2008 after a succesful
loan spell at Goodison Park in 2007/08.
While he started 37 games last season, scoring twice, the former
Ajax and Borussia Dortmund star has only begun 12 matches this
season and failed to find the back of the net, mainly due to
injury.
Apparently, the Russian Champions tabled a bid in the region of
€4.7 million (£4.5 m), and were confident of landing their target
with manager Kurban Burdyev stating: "Pienaar is at Everton, but he
doesn't always play."
However, Everton manager David Moyes is looking to add to his squad
in the transfer window and insisted: "We're not intending to
sell."
