West Ham United have been rebuffed by Everton over an approach for Kevin Mirallas.
Sky Sports have reported that Everton have rejected a loan bid by West Ham United to sign Kevin Mirallas today.
The Irons lost Robert Snodgrass to Aston Villa on a season-long loan this week in a move which leaves manager Slaven Bilic short on attacking quality.
And West Ham have seemingly turned their attentions toward the Belgium international, who was omitted from Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Chelsea due to attitude problems, according to Everton manager Ronald Koeman.
With the transfer window closing today, West Ham, who have lost all three of their Premier League games, desperately need some attacking talent but it would appear as if it will not be Mirallas heading to East London.
And some Hammers fans are furious that their club tried to sign a proven Premier League player on loan, rather than buying outright.
He might have attitude issues from time to time, but Mirallas is a class talent and could definitely improve West Ham, but loaning him out does not make a great deal of sense from an Everton perspective.
