Reports in Italy have suggested that Everton winger Kevin Mirallas will be the next player to depart Goodison Park and that a deal is incredibly close to fruition with Fiorentina and could, in fact, be completed later today.

The long-serving 30-year-old joined the club from Olympiakos for a reported Ā£6million back in the summer of 2012 and 186 appearances later, he’s contributed 38 goals to the cause.
Things soured for him last season though as he fell out of favour and with game time limited, he spent the second half of the campaign back out with his former Greek side.
Sky Sports Italia via Football Italia have reported that talks are ongoing for the player but they don’t state whether this would be a season-long loan deal or a permanent transfer. Other coverage indicates an initial loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer down the line.
Despite his history with the club, or maybe because of it, some Everton are delighted with the news.
Bout time they did us a favour after taking Kanchelskis off us! #stillnotoverlosinghim #favouriteplayer #Kanchelskis #derbyhero #icon

He keeps landing on his feet with loan moves to good clubs. He is average. I'm surprised Newcastle are not looking for him on loan given their current transfers situation

Heās fallen out with every manager weāve had since Moyes, he and Schneiderlin were both sent home from training by Unsworth because of a lack of effort and he had his loan cut short at Olympiacos because of poor performances and a bad attitude.
