The Belgian winger impressed for Everton in a friendly on Friday.
Could Kevin Mirallas get a second chance at Everton? He’s going the right way about it.
The Belgium international was given a 12-minute cameo but impressed nonetheless in Friday’s 1-0 win over Monaco in Switzerland.
Mirallas, who hasn’t played a competitive game for Everton since December of 2017, also earned a spell at right-back in the Toffees’ 0-0 draw with FC Sion earlier in the week.
The 31-year-old spent last season on loan at Fiorentina but didn’t appear to pull up any trees and manager Marco Silva might be willing to keep him at Goodison Park if he proves himself over the coming weeks.
Here’s how Everton fans reacted to his cameo against the Ligue 1 side yesterday:
Mirallas, as far as quality goes, had major potential, but attitude issues undoubtedly stifled his progress on Merseyside after David Moyes brought him to the club in 2012.
But every so often he reminds supporters of his ability, though the big question is whether he can perform over the course of an entire season and keep his head down without finding something to frustrate him.
If – and it’s a big IF – he can then who knows, maybe keeping him might not be such a terrible idea.
