Kevin Mirallas has joined Fiorentina on loan.
Kevin Mirallas has left Everton and is eyeing a successful stint at Fiorentina.
He has joined the club on loan for a year and hopes to earn a permanent deal.
He said his international colleagues Radja Nainggolan of Inter Milan and Dries Mertens of Napoli helped convince him that Serie A was the right league for him.
At Fiorentina, Mirallas told Tuttomercatoweb he wants to win silverware.
He said: “They talked very well about the Italian championship and Fiorentina, I think it’s a team suited to me and my characteristics, and one day I hope to become important and leave their mark in the team.
“It would be very important to win a trophy, especially after the loss of Astori. It would be very nice to give him a trophy and pay him homage.
“The number 11 is a number that I had both at Everton and in the national team, I really like it and I thank Fiorentina for giving it to me.”
Mirallas spent the second half of last season on loan at Greek side Olympiakos.
He has very little chance of a future at Everton and needs to make his Fiorentina move a success, to give himself good options next summer, whether that be at the Italian side or elsewhere.
