# Leaked image shows Mirallas’ departure imminent – Fan Reactions

Kevin Mirallas looks to have finally put his time as an Everton player behind him, with his departure seemingly imminent.

The Belgian winger has been linked with a move back to Belgium for the past week, with speculation linking him Antwerp intensifying overnight [after he was seen](https://readeverton.com/2019/08/30/mirallas-spotted-at-antwerp-game-is-his-everton-departure-close/) spectating at the club’s Europa League qualifier on Thursday.

The 31-year old has been somewhat of a pariah at Everton over the previous few seasons, and despite him having featured for Marco Silva’s side in pre-season, it never looked likely that Mirallas would win his place in the team back.

Now [a picture has leaked](https://twitter.com/1878Lee/status/1167434403930345472) on Twitter of Mirallas at Antwerps stadium holding their new season jersey aloft, which would seem to suggest that a move is close to being made official.

[According to Belgian football expert and journalist Kristof Terreur](https://twitter.com/HLNinEngeland/status/1167441704602849282), the move will be a permanent transfer, where Mirallas will sign a one-year deal with Antwerp.

Several Everton fans have responded on social media to the leaked image in a number of different ways.

### Read Everton Verdict

A short verdict from me – job well done Marcel Brands, and while I’m no longer Mirallas’ biggest fan, I don’t wish him any ill will. Hopefully he does well.
