Everton midfield schemer Steven Pienaar insists he does not know anything about reported interest from German outfit Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga giants are reported to be considering a move for the South African ace as they look at possible replacements for Franck Ribery.

Ribery is widely expected to depart Munich this summer and they are now scouring the world looking for possible recruits.

Pienaar's name has been mentioned, and he is no stranger to the Bundesliga having previously starred for Borussia Dortmund. Pienaar, 27, has just 18 months left on his current deal at Goodison Park. T

he player himself insists he has only heard rumours about Bayern and that nothing concrete has materialised.

He told KickOff: "I only heard about this at training when Louis Saha came to me during our warm up and said 'I heard some rumours of Bayern Munich being interested in you'.

"I really don't know anything about this myself."
