Everton attacker Kevin Mirallas looks destined to end up back at Goodison Park in the summer and he should beg for an opportunity to feature for the Toffees again.
The 30-year-old winger has had a miserable time as of late, while on loan at Olympiacos, with Greek website SDNA handing him a savage review for the time he has spent at the club.
SNDA’s latest report, as translated by the Liverpool Echo, claimed that Mirallas arrived from the Toffees in January as Olympiacos’ saviour but will leave the club when his loan deal expires in the summer as a failure.
The Greek website also went onto suggest that the 30-year-old’s attitude, which has at times disrupted his Toffees career, had been so unacceptable that he will now train with the reserves for the remainder of his time at the club.
Mirallas made 11 appearances for Olympiacos and only managed to score a measly two goals to aid his side’s cause this season.
With the Greek giants extremely unlikely to sign him permanently, and his current Toffees’ deal not expiring to 2020, the 30-year-old must be ready to plead for his career at the Merseyside club.
Based on his performances for Olympiacos and his reported attitude problems, no club is going to offer him away out of Goodison Park anytime soon until he proves that he can be a worthwhile signing.
Mirallas was once highly-thought of at the Toffees as he used to speed down the flanks in order to help his side be a potent attacking threat.
The winger scored 38 goals, while creating 34, in 186 Toffees appearances, which shows the talent he was once able to demonstrate on a regular basis.
However in the 13 appearances he made for the Premier League side this season, he was woeful, lazy, disinterested and let down his side on more than one occasion.
Although this is the case, Mirallas is still an talented attacking prospect that could flourish in England’s top-flight, something he no doubts knows and something coaches at Goodison park will reluctantly admit.
With the 30-year-old’s latest loan spell potentially causing no other club to touch him with a barge pole, Mirallas must be aware that his only realistic opportunity of playing football next season will be at the Toffees.
Therefore in order to mend the seriously broken bridges, the Toffees attacker must return to Goodison Park on his hands and knees in order to beg for one more chance to have a bright future at the club.
