Steven Pienaar has insisted that he is happy at Everton despite reported interest from Premier League rivals Manchester City.

The South African has enjoyed a rich vein of form of late with a series of crucial goals, including one against the Eastlands outfit last month.

Pienaar's recent spell has attracted the attention of several other clubs with Bayern Munich eyeing him as their long-term successor to Franck Ribery, who is expected to leave the club this summer, but would be unable to match or better any offer tabled by the Citizens.

However the 28-year-old has no intention of leaving Goodison Park in the near future with Marouane Fellaini's injury providing him with a more substantial role in the Blues' midfield.

He said: "I feel this is my home. The supporters have always been good to me and I always give 100 per cent.

'I definitely aim to play here for a lot longer, why not?

"Talk of moving is only rumours and I'm definitely enjoying my football here."

Do you really believe City were interested in him, or do you think he was just trying to get a new and better contract.
