Everton will reject any advances from Olympiacos to try and re-sign Kevin Mirallas before the transfer window closes on Thursday, according to talkSPORT.
This is despite the fact the winger was left out of the squad for the 2-0 Premier League defeat to Chelsea on Sunday by manager Ronald Koeman because of his “attitude”.

Koeman told the Liverpool Echo after the loss at Stamford Bridge that he didn’t know whether Mirallas would be leaving the Toffees this summer.
However, it doesn’t look like a return to Olympiacos is on the cards for the Belgium international – who played for the Greek club between 2010 and 2012 before his switch to Goodison Park.

The Piraeus side were hoping to sign Mirallas on loan and have held tooks with the Merseysiders to try and thrash out a deal, but nothing is forthcoming.
Despite this and the fact the 29-year-old only signed a new three-year contract with the club in May, it would seem the Belgian’s long-term future under Koeman remains in doubt.
