And also remaining at Goodison is Pienaar, who was heavily linked with an exit after entering the final 12 months of his Everton contract with talks having stalled over a new deal.

Tottenham Hotspur were desperate to sign the South Africa but their attempts were rebuffed by the Everton board, with Moyes having previously stated he has no qualms in allowing the player to run down his contract this season.

Tottenham had offered a swap deal with David Bentley and Robbie Keane for Pienaar and Louis Saha, which was rebuffed by Everton.

And Pienaar said yesterday: “The transfer deadline is over and it’s nice to be able to be focused on continuing at Everton.”

Meanwhile, Everton will find out later this week the extent of Jack Rodwell’s ankle injury with fears growing the midfielder could face an extended spell on the sidelines.

Rodwell limped out of Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa with an ankle injury, and was yesterday withdrawn from the England under-21 squad for their forthcoming UEFA U21 Championship qualifying double header against Portugal and Lithuania. The 19-year-old has now returned to Finch Farm where will be further assessed this week to establish the degree of the damage.

Phil Jagielka, who also suffered an ankle problem at Villa Park at the weekend, sat out training for the full England squad yesterday.

Jagielka was joined on the sidelines by Peter Crouch, Scott Carson and Ben Foster for Fabio Capello’s first session of the week. The Everton centre-back began England’s friendly against Hungary last month and, should he regain fitness, is a strong contender to start Friday’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria at Wembley.
