Everton defender John Heitinga does not expect to see South African midfielder Steven Pienaar returning to the club, despite Pienaar's reported unhappiness at White Hart Lane.
A lack of first team football has been cited as the reason for Pienaar's request to move elsewhere, and today a move back to former club Everton appeared to be a real possibility. However, it seems that some Everton colleagues are not expecting the return of their former midfield star.
Heitinga said: "I'd take him back but I don't think it's realistic.
"They would ask for more money to sell him than they paid us for him and we don't have much more. It's up to the manager and the board whether a few players come or not but Pienaar is unrealistic.
"Everton is a nice club to play for and Steven made the decision to go to another club and it's his right to make that decision."
