Everton forward Kevin Mirallas is joining Olympiacos.

The Greek side have proposed an initial loan with view to a £5million deal, though Everton want a permanent transfer.

The 30-year-old Belgium international has struggled for game time in the past two seasons and has been left out by manager Sam Allardyce in recent weeks, with the new Toffees boss deeming him surplus to requirements.

He has only started two Premier League games all season. 

Mirallas joined Everton from Olympiacos in 2012 when he was signed by David Moyes for £6m.

He was wanted by West Ham last season but the clubs failed to agree a deal.

Olympiacos won the Greek title by a six-point margin from PAOK last season but they are currently third this term, although they can go top by beating Larissa on Sunday.
