As the Merseysiders battle to hold on to fifth place - and UEFA Cup qualification - in the Barclays Premier League, boss David Moyes is already planning for next season.

An Everton spokesman said: "The deal has been in place for some time and the final points are now being worked on. It should be sorted out before the end of the week."

Last week, Pienaar voiced his concerns a deal between his parent club and Everton to make his season-long loan a permanent deal may have stalled.

But on Friday, Moyes suggested the deal had never been in doubt and the hold-up was "regarding his agent's fee".

A spokesman has revealed final details of the deal were being thrashed out and chief executive Keith Wyness is working on the completion of the £2.2million move.
