Sam Allardyce has told the Liverpool Echo that Kevin Mirallas may be allowed to leave Everton this month, but there are a number of complications in the deal.

Mirallas has fallen out of favour with both the supporters of Everton and with Allardyce himself.

The Belgian winger’s attitude has been questioned by the Goodison Park crowd, and Allardyce appears to have reservations over picking the 30-year-old.

With Yannick Bolasie now back and fit, Mirallas has not featured at all in the Premier League since Allardyce took over.

And the Toffees boss admits that Everton will consider offloading Mirallas this month, but only if the right bid comes around.

“Depends on many factors,” he said, when asked if Mirallas will leave. “Does Kevin want to go? Is the club right for him? Is the transfer fee right for us?”

It would take a miraculous recovery from Mirallas now to save his Everton career, and it seems most likely that he will move on.

With the World Cup coming, Mirallas may need to be playing regularly to stand a chance of making it into Belgium’s squad.

Mirallas has made 13 appearances for Everton across all competitions this season, but he has failed to score and has only provided two assists.
