Aston Villa interested in Spurs midfielder Pienaar

Aston Villa join the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder Steven Pienaar as Harry Redknapp looks to reduce the size of his squad.

Aston Villa are reportedly considering making a move for out-of-favour Spurs midfielder Steven Pienaar.

Pienaar is expected to leave White Hart Lane in January after finding his first-team chances limited following a £2m move from Everton a year ago.

Due to Jermaine Jenas currently being on loan at Villa Park, Alex McLeish must make a permanent move for the South African as Premier League rules do not allow a club to loan more than one player to another club.

Harry Redknapp is expected to demand around £4m for the former Ajax player as he looks to trim his squad.

Sunderland and Everton are also rumoured to be interested in signing the 29-year-old but his former club are only considering a loan move in January.
