Transfer Gist: Kevin Mirallas Joins Fiorentina On Loan From Everton

Everton have announced that Belgian midfielder, Kevin Mirallas will be joining Italian outfit, Fiorentina on loan for the 2018/2019 season.

This is despite the Toffees releasing their 30-man squad last week which included the Belgian and he was given the number 8 Jersey.

The 30-year old spent the rest of last season on loan at former club Olympiacos after he failed to cement first team football at Goodison Park.

He first had a fallout with Ronald Koeman before failing to impress under Sam Allardyce at Merseyside.

Mirallas who has been capped 60 times by Belgium originally joined Everton from Olympiacos for £6 million in 2012 just 15 months after joining the Greek giants.

His lack of play time due to injury contributed to his failure to make the Belgium team to the World Cup in Russia where the Reds defied all odds to win the bronze medal.

The Belgium star has made 186 appearances for Everton and has scored 36 goals in the process.
