MIKEL ARTETA signing a new five-year contract at Everton is great news for the club but the pressure is now on Steven Pienaar.

Arteta has become the latest in a long line of Goodison stars to commit themselves to a new deal this summer following contract extensions by the likes of Jack Rodwell, Tim Cahill and Leighton Baines.

Bids for Phil Jagielka have also been thrown out so with everyone else committed to a long-term future with Everton, all eyes are now firmly fixed on Pienaar with the question ‘what are you going to do?’

Pienaar had a really good season last year but he didn’t have a good World Cup.

He was under a lot of pressure spearheading the hosts’ charge in the first ever African tournament but after his summer disappointments there might be a few previously interested clubs who have decided they won’t now take him.

I’ve spoken to David Moyes and we all know there’s a really good contract offer on the table from Everton.

So Pienaar could sit on his current deal for a year but does he really feel that he’s going to join anyone better?
