Sky Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed on his official website that Fiorentina are closing in on the loan signing of Everton outcast Kevin Mirallas this summer.

The 30-year-old is one of four names reportedly training with the club’s reserve team at the moment, along with defenders Ashley Williams and Cuco Martina, as well as fellow winger Nikola Vlasic.

Mirallas was already in danger of being told he must leave Goodison Park this summer, after being frozen out by Ronald Koeman and then Sam Allardyce last season.

it forced the 60-time Belgium international to rejoin Greek Super league giants Olympiakos in January on loan, but he managed just two goals in 15 games for his old club.

Now, Fiorentina are willing to offer Mirallas an escape route out of Merseyside and into the top tier of Italian football, by luring the Belgian to Les Violets on a season-long loan.

Di Marzio, who is well-respected in the world of football transfers, claims a deal is close to completion and will include an option to buy at the end of the deal next summer. Mirallas has two years remaining on his contract.
