Mirallas departure rumours reignite

According to Sport Witness, Kevin Mirallas could be on his way out of Goodison Park after being starved of gametime, with Monaco and Marseille interested.

Mirallas reportedly wanted to leave Goodison Park in January but he remained in the blue half of Merseyside and eventually confirmed his stay by signing a new three year contract during the summer.

Roberto Martinez currently prefers Arouna Kone and Gerard Deulofeu in the wide positions with Mirallas used sparingly off the bench, and if the situation remains the same the 28-year-old could see his chances of playing for Belgium in the 2016 Euros next year diminish entirely.

The former Olympiacos attacker has recently been left out of Marc Wilmots’ Belgium squad, leaving Mirallas with another January transfer window in which he’s looking at a move.

According to French magazine, France Football, Ligue 1 giants AS Monaco and Olympique Marseille are interested in the Belgian forward.

After Andre Pierre Gignac’s departure from France, Marseille have been monitoring attackers in order to remove some pressure on main outlet Michy Batshuayi – a Belgian team-mate of Mirallas.

Monaco are also chasing a new striker after accepting a huge bid for Anthony Martial from Manchester United on transfer deadline day this summer; it’s believed that Mirallas is looked at as a potential addition to the Principality outfit.
