Spurs transfer boost… Everton star opens door for move

Kevin Mirallas has hit out at Everton for their treatment of him over the latter half of the season, accusing the Merseysiders of ‘breaking promises’.

The Belgium international has long been thought of as one of the Toffees’ key players after impressing for Roberto Martinez’s side.

He attracted interest over the winter period from clubs such as Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, while Spurs have also been aligned with a raid for him.

A potential swap including Aaron Lennon – on loan at Everton from Tottenham – has been reported as an option, and now Mirallas has now opened the door for a switch.

The 27-year-old has revealed that he’s frustrated at the lack of game time he’s been given, claiming that it goes against the reasons he was kept at the club in January despite strong interest:

“Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid were interested [in January], but Everton obliged me to stay at the club,” he is quoted by Goal.

“I understood because our young group performed below expectations. So I had to stay, but in the second half I was suddenly playing less games.

“There are promises broken and yet it makes for a somewhat awkward relationship with the coach. Soon I will have a conversation with him.

“I have had a beautiful two and a half years with Everton. I have experienced many great moments and for that I must thank the club.

“So I don’t know whether I will leave, it is a decision I have to make in consultation with my family.”

Mirallas played 1,424 minutes of Premier League football for Everton during the season just gone, scoring seven goals from his wide role.
