Kevin Mirallas looks to be on the brink of leaving Everton.

Voetbal 24 reported on Monday that the Toffees winger is set to re-sign for Standard Liege in Belgium, where his career began.

The report added that there could be ‘white smoke very soon’ if everything goes to plan.

The 31-year-old doesn’t appear to have much future at Goodison Park under Everton boss Marco Silva, who loaned him to Olympiacos last season.

Mirallas, who has 60 caps for Belgium, has looked on borrowed time on Merseyside for quite a few years, and fans of the Goodison Park side seem delighted to be losing him.

Mirallas, who signed for the club in 2012, is the perfect example of talent going awry.

At times he looked capable of amazing things in England, but consistency was his major problem and he struggled to showcase his abilities on a regular basis.

Many more Everton fans might view him as something of a tragic figure for that reason alone, given how good he could’ve been, but getting shot of him is absolutely the right call at this stage. If it hasn’t worked out in England already, it never will.
