Steven Pienaar has praised Everton boss David Moyes.

The South African international, who has failed to agree a new deal at Goodison Park with just a year left to run on his existing deal has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Pienaar said: “The gaffer has always been there to help me. He’s the one who took me to England and had a lot of confidence in me.

“When someone shows you that kind of respect you really want to pay them back someday and all I had to do was work very hard because I knew the talent was there. He demands a lot from the players and always emphasises teamwork.

“I’ve often wondered when he gets chance to go to sleep because he is the hardest working manager I’ve ever come across and that has rubbed off on his players as well.

“Everyone has to give 100% no matter how good you are.”
