Kevin Antonio Joel Gislain Mirallas y Castillo (born 5 October 1987), more commonly known as Kevin Mirallas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkeβin miˈɾaʎas]), is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a winger for English club Everton and the Belgium national team.

Mirallas started his professional career in France with Lille & Saint-Étienne before moving to Greece with Olympiacos in 2010. Mirallas enjoyed success during his time at Olympiacos scoring 34 goals in 52 league games, including being the league's top scorer in his second season with 20 goals in 25 games. His impressive performances attracted the services of Everton who signed him in the summer of 2012 for £6 million.

Mirallas has over 50 caps for Belgium since his senior debut in 2007. He has represented Belgium at various youth levels and has featured for them at senior level at the 2008 Olympics and the 2014 FIFA World Cup; the latter of which he helped his team reach the quarter-finals.

Club career

Early career

Mirallas spent his youth career playing for his hometown club Standard Liège.[4] He then left Belgium and began his first team career in France by signing for Lille OSC and played for them since the opening of the 2004–05 season.[2] Mirallas participated in the UEFA Cup in his first season at the club. Mirallas subsequently was transferred to AS Saint-Étienne for €4 million, and began to make a name for himself by scoring against Lyon on his debut in the Rhone-Loire derby.[5]

Olympiacos

In June 2010 Mirallas joined Greek club Olympiacos on a one-year loan for a fee of €2.5 million.[6] Mirallas made his debut in a 5–0 win against KS Besa Kavaje in the Second Qualifying Round of the UEFA Europa League Qualifiers[7] and scored his first two goals for the club in a 3–1 home win against Olympiakos Volos.[8] Mirallas scored in a 2–1 away loss to their greatest rivals Panathinaikos in the Derby of the eternal enemies after which his contract was extended to four years.[9] Olympiacos won that season's Greek Super League and Mirallas finished as the club's top scorer with 14 goals, with only Panathinaikos's Djibril Cissé scoring more league goals than him. The following season Mirallas scored his first ever hat-trick for Olympiacos in a 4–0 away win against Levadiakos F.C.[10] and scored four in a 7–2 victory over Asteras Tripolis.[11] Olympiacos again won the league,[12] and Mirallas was the league's top scorer with 20 goals.[13]

Everton

In August 2012, Mirallas joined English Premier League club Everton for a reported fee of £6 million.[14] He made his debut as a second-half substitute during a 3–1 league win over Aston Villa at Villa Park in which he had a headed goal disallowed due to it being ruled offside.[15] In his first start four days later, Mirallas scored twice and provided two assists as Everton won 5–0 against Leyton Orient in the second round of the League Cup.[16] He scored his first league goal on 22 September 2012, in a 3–0 away win against Swansea City after heading in his initial effort which rebounded off the underside of the bar.[17] Mirallas suffered a number of injuries which limited his number of appearances during the middle part of the season. He made a number of brief cameos, notably against Tottenham Hotspur in December. Mirallas' next goal came against Oldham Athletic in a 3–1 win on 26 February 2013 in the fifth round of the FA Cup. He then scored again, scoring his second league goal of the season against Reading in a 3–1 win on 2 March 2013. He scored his first brace in David Moyes' last home game in charge of Everton in a 2–0 win against West Ham United.[18]

Mirallas warming-up for Everton in 2015

Mirallas scored and assisted a goal during a 3–3 draw in the first Merseyside derby of the 2013–14 season on 23 November.[19] He also received a booking for a high challenge on Luis Suárez which opposing manager Brendan Rodgers described as reckless and insisted Mirallas was lucky to remain on the pitch.[20] He went on to score eight goals in the season, before it was ended in April due to a groin injury.[21] Mirallas created 61 chances for his teammates during the season, the most of any Everton player.[22]

On 18 September 2014, Mirallas scored his first European goal for Everton, in a 4–1 win over Wolfsburg in the first match of their Europa League campaign.[23] He signed a new three-year contract with the club in August 2015.[24]

Mirallas scored his 30th Premier League goals for Everton on 11 March 2017 as Everton cruised to victory over West Bromwich Albion at Goodison Park in a 3–0 win.[25] On 12 May 2017, Mirallas signed a new three-year contract deal with Everton until the end of June 2020.[26]

International career

Mirallas has represented Belgium at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level, and was one of the leading figures in guiding the under-21s to the semi-finals of the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship.

He scored twice in the 2008 Summer Olympics football tournament, once against China (2–0 victory) and once against Italy (3–2 victory).[27] He made his full international debut for the senior team in 2007 and scored his first ever international goal against Serbia in Brussels on 23 August of that year, as a Mousa Dembélé brace helped the Red Devils to a 3–2 home victory.[28]

Mirallas was part of the Belgian squad which reached the quarter-finals at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, making his tournament debut in the second group match, a 1–0 win over Russia in the Maracanã, as a 75th-minute substitute for Dries Mertens. In a game of few opportunities, Mirallas hit the post with Belgium's first shot on target, with another substitute Divock Origi scoring the only goal two minutes from full-time.[29]

Style of play

Mirallas was deployed as a centre forward for Olympiakos but since his move to Everton he has been deployed mainly as a winger or a free roaming forward. He is known for his pace, close ball control, passing ability and proficiency in one-on-one situations.

Personal life

Mirallas' father was born in Spain,[30] although Mirallas was born in Liège.
