Pienaar’s price fear

TASTY PIE ... Steven Pienaar enjoyed a fine loan spell at Everton last season
STEVEN PIENAAR fears Spurs will price him out of a dream return to Everton.
The midfielder is desperate to seal a permanent move back to Goodison after spending the last four months of the season there on loan.
But Tottenham are refusing to lower their £6million asking price for a 30-year-old player who cost them just £3m in January 2011.
Pienaar knows he does not figure in Harry Redknapp’s plans after getting just 14 minutes of Premier League action for Spurs last season.
South African Pienaar quit the Toffees for a £60,000-a-week contract with Spurs but has never been a regular starter at White Hart Lane.
But his impressive performances back at Everton since January have sparked a bust-up between Redknapp and chairman Daniel Levy. The Tottenham supremo has demanded to know why Redknapp has failed to get the best out of Pienaar when he plays so well for Everton boss David Moyes.
And Levy has also questioned why his manager is demanding cash to strengthen the midfield when he has not utilised Pienaar’s talents.
Now their disagreement is threatening to scupper Pienaar’s wish to move back to Goodison Park.
