South Africa midfielder Steven Pienaar will not consider his future until after this summer's World Cup.

Pienaar's future at Goodison Park has been thrown into doubt after he left for international duty having failed to agree a new long-term contract with the Toffees.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich are two clubs recently linked with Everton's newly crowned player of the year with his contract set to expire at the end of next season.

However, Pienaar is happy to shelve talk over his future until the World Cup finals end in mid-July.

"As a player my job is to play and that is for my management team to deal with," he said. "I'm totally focused on Bafana and the World Cup.

"We will have to wait and see, but the Everton supporters have been very good to me and it's been good for me to play for their team, but for now I'm focusing on the World Cup."
