Everton winger Kevin Mirallas has been sent out on loan to Fiorentina.
Everton fans have offered Kevin Mirallas no sympathy after his latest comments, suggesting that he was forced out of Goodison Park.
Mirallas said to Calcio Mercato that Everton effectively left him with no choice but to leave this summer, as he wasn’t going to be part of their plans.
“Yes, it’s true [that he was forced out],” he said.
“I considered my journey in Liverpool to be over. I looked for a new challenge. Tottenham also courted me. The charm of the Premier League, the possibility to play Champions League football, new emotions. Instead, nothing.
“I was saddened. I couldn’t play football without feeling happy, and for a long time the real Mirallas hadn’t been seen on the pitch.”
Mirallas ended up leaving Everton on loan to join Fiorentina in the summer, and Toffees fans appear glad to have seen the back of the Belgian.
Mirallas was once one of Everton’s most dangerous attacking threats, but his attitude came under question in the latter stages of his time on Merseyside.
The 30-year-old was highly inconsistent, and ultimately Everton’s managers ran out of patience with him.
Although Mirallas is only on loan at Fiorentina, he appears to have no future back at his parent club.
Everton have strengthened their attack without Mirallas, and Marco Silva has other attacking options who he seems to prefer.
Everton are next in action at the weekend, when they take on West Ham United.
