The 28-year-old midfielder was set to undergo a medical before putting pen to paper on a reported four-year contract. Spurs beat off competition from Chelsea to land Pienaar, who failed to agree personal terms with the Barclays Premier League champions.
Confirming his destination on his Twitter account, Pienaar said: "To end speculation I am going to Spurs. I've had brilliant years at Everton and it will always be a special place in my heart."
The clubs came to an agreement on Monday night, with some reports claiming Spurs had matched Chelsea's ¦pound;3million bid for the player and others suggesting a compromise figure of around ¦pound;2.5million had been reached.
Once all the paperwork is complete, Pienaar will officially become the north London side's second January signing, with fellow South Africa international Bongani Khumalo having already penned a pre-contract agreement.
