Monaco target January swoop for Kevin Mirallas
MONACO have set their sights on Everton’s Kevin Mirallas.
The 28-year-old winger has become frustrated over his lack of appearances this season and will consider leaving Goodison this month.
Mirallas is concerned that being on the sidelines at Everton will impact on his chances of being selected for Belgium’s Euro 2016 squad - and Monaco are keen on acquiring his services.
The former Olympiakos forward has started just two league games this season and was an unused substitute in Sunday’s draw with Spurs.
It is understood that Blues boss Roberto Martinez does not want to lose Mirallas during the transfer window and has held talks with the unsettled player.

But Everton are unlikely to stand in Mirallas’ way if he demands to leave the club during the transfer window and Ligue 1 side Monaco could be ready to test Everton’s resolve.
But they are not alone in coveting the Belgium international with a host of other clubs, including old side Olympiakos, are also said to be monitoring Mirallas’ situation.
Mirallas’ Everton future was uncertain in the summer but he opted to commit to the Blues and signed a new three-year-deal.
But after starting the first game of the season, the Belgian has quickly fallen down the pecking order at Goodison.
