Johannesburg - Liverpool have reportedly joined Tottenham and Chelsea in the race to sign Everton playmaker Steven Pienaar.
The Bafana Bafana star has stood out in the English Premier League this season and consequently his future has been intensely scrutinised by the British media in recent weeks.
The Daily Mail is the latest publication to chip in with fresh speculation, claiming the Reds are preparing to enter the bidding war for the Westbury-born attacker.
Pienaar, who has a year left on his existing contract with the Toffees, has previously stated he will only decide on his career after the World Cup although his agent, Ivan Mudia, recently suggested otherwise.
Mudia said: "I think Steven would like to know what he is doing next season before the Soccer World Cup."
Naturally, club boss David Moyes is desperate to quash the interest and is set to offer Pienaar a new lucrative deal, which will make the 28-year-old one of the highest earners at the club.
Moyes has also applied pressure through comments he recently made to the Liverpool Echo.
He said: "Steven Pienaar is at a club that really suits him and sometimes a player has to decide what is best for them.
"Everton has been good for Steven. If anybody wanted to leave, they'd be poorer for it. Most people that have left here, it's not tended to work out for them."
