The 28-year-old headed to White Hart Lane for a fee reportedly around £2.5million after he failed to agree personal terms with Chelsea.
However, the South African midfielder, who could make his debut at Newcastle on Saturday once international clearance is confirmed, insists the future is bright as part of Harry Redknapp's squad.
"There is a great manager at this club and one of my team-mates with the national team plays here [Bongani Khumalo] and he told me about the club, that it is a big club, it is a club on the up that plays good football," Pienaar said to Spurs TV Online.
"The style of football is really important. I played with Rafa [van der Vaart] at Ajax and we played attacking football. I want to be in a team that plays attacking football that is exciting for the supporters to watch.
"I am definitely looking forward to playing with him again - but not just Rafa, all the players here because the football is exciting, it makes me excited and I can't wait. That is one of the reasons I decided to join Spurs."
