Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar could leave Goodison Park in the summer and head to the Netherlands to re-join Ajax, according to his agent.
This news was shared by the official Twitter account of the South African football team.
Twitter: Steven Pienaar might leave Everton for Ajax Amsterdam, according to his business manager Rob Moore (@BafanaBafana)
The 33-year-old is out of contract in the summer and is unlikely to be offered a new deal, although he is still likely to be used sparingly in the first team up until that point.
Pienaar, who left Ajax in 2006 to join Borussia Dortmund, could return to the Dutch side to see out his playing days.
The South African, who made his first appearance of the season against Dagenham & Redbridge at the weekend, has struggled with injuries for around 18 months or so and it makes sense for Everton to let him leave and free up some of their wage budget.
