STEVEN PIENAAR is expected  on Merseyside today to  undergo a medical, after the  Blues agreed a fee with Spurs  for the midfielder over the  weekend.

If all goes to plan, Pienaar,  30, will then complete his  permanent return to  Goodison tomorrow.

Pienaar’s agent Rob Moore  confirmed the breakthrough  in talks between Everton and  the Londoners, when he  published a blog on a website  he promotes stating that the  agreement had been reached.

Meanwhile, Darron  Gibson  wants to show another side  to his game in the  forthcoming season – and  has also vowed to target  more goals when the  campaign gets underway.

The Republic of Ireland  midfielder gravitated towards  a holding midfield role after  arriving from Manchester  United  in January.  but believes he has plenty more to offer apart from anchoring David Moyes’ engine room.

Gibson, 24, showed his attacking prowess by scoring the only goal in a memorable Goodison win over Manchester City, and with a reputation as a long-range goal-getter he wants to hit the back of the net more often – starting with an opening game against his former club, Manchester United.

But he  said:  “More goals  would be my main aim and  obviously just to keep the  performances going.  And  hopefully the team can finish  higher than last year.
