Steven Pienaar

South African midfielder Steven Pienaar first emerged as another talented product of the prolific Ajax youth academy and quickly established himself as one of their brightest prospects. In January 2006 he moved to Germany and Borussia Dortmund, but initially struggled under the weight of expectation, having been signed as a replacement for the popular Tomas Rosicky.

In July 2007 he moved to Everton on a season-long loan.
