Everton sign Mirallas from Olympiakos

Everton have confirmed they have completed the signing of Kevin Mirallas from Olympiakos.

The Belgium international has signed a four-year deal with the club for an undisclosed fee and the new signing says he is delighted to have arrived at Goodison Park.

“I am very happy because Everton is a big club and for me it’s a very good opportunity,” he told the club’s website on Sunday.

“I’ve known Everton have been following me for a while and after talking with the manager (David Moyes) I decided coming to Everton was the best opportunity for me.

“I know this is a great club with great supporters and a club that has the ability win a lot of games in the Premier League. That’s why I came.”

Mirallas will be unveiled at Goodison Park on Monday ahead of Everton’s first English Premier League fixture of the season against Manchester United.

However, he will ineligible for the game having failed to sign before Friday’s midday deadline.

The former Saint Etienne and Lille forward can play as either a striker, or out wide on either wing, and will wear the number 11 shirt at Everton.
