Gunners to launch bid for Merseyside midfielder


According to reports in today's Daily Mail, Arsenal are keen on signing Everton's on loan midfielder Steve Pienaar.

The player is currently on loan from German side Borussia Dortmund and it is thought Everton will look to make the deal for Pienaar permanent at the end of the season.

Arsenal aren' the only team interested in the South African player, Spanish giants Valencia are also said to be monitoring the situation. Pienaar has over 20 caps for his country and is widely regarded as one of South Africa's best players.

I personally feel Pienaar will make his move to Everton permanent come the end of the season. He is only 25-years old and in my view has done very well since joining David Moyes' men.
