On-loan Everton forward Kevin Mirallas playing for another move after failing to convince of his worth

Nomadic Everton forward Kevin Mirallas is playing to secure another move this summer - after reports from Italy claimed Fiorentina are not interested in exercising a €7m option to sign the on-loan Belgian on a permanent deal.

According to the Corriere Fiorentino newspaper, the Serie A side do not intend take up their options to buy Edimilson Fernandes from West Ham or Mirallas from Everton .

The pair arrived over the summer and have been relatively regular figures in the Viola squad this season.

But at the age of 31, just two goals with one assist in 18 Serie A appearances so far this season, many of them off the bench, has not been enough to convince the cash strapped Italian club to part with €7m for Mirallas.

Coach Stefano Pioli is expected to move on this summer further clouding the Belgian's future.

Mirallas signed a new deal with Everton in May 2017 which runs until the summer of 2020.

But Marco Silva has made it clear the forward has no part to play in his future plans, meaning Mirallas must try to convince another club to use his services next season.

He spent an unsuccessful spell on loan at his former Greek side Olympiakos last season. And last autumn spoke of his love for Tuscany and his desire to make the Fiorentina switch a long-term move.

An injury to Fiorentina forward Federico Chiesa means Mirallas is likely to get an opportunity to impress against Torino this weekend.

Mirallas has 60 international caps to his name, scoring 10 goals, but has not been selected in Roberto Martinez's squad since an international friendly against Mexico in October 2017.
