Former Everton boss Moyes looks set to turn his attention to Pienaar, 32, after missing out on other targets.

Chelsea misfit Mo Salah is on the verge of a loan move to Roma while Arsenal’s Joel Campbell is expected to sign a similar deal with Villarreal.

But Moyes remains eager to sign a Premier League winger and knows Pienaar well from his time at Goodison.

He signed the South African twice for the Blues and is keen to bring him to Spain on loan.

Sociedad have already made contact with the player’s agent and believe he would be allowed to leave.

But Pienaar, who is understood to be tempted by the move, will have to prove his fitness after a knee injury.
