Lennon vs Mirallas

I've talked plenty in this window about swap deals as Financial Fair Play has changed the transfer market and the Kevin Mirallas story opens us possibilities.



We know Everton are interested in Aaron Lennon and they have previously been linked with an interest in Younes Kaboul. Tottenham we know are interested in James McCarthy and now the news from HLN in Belgium that Tottenham have made an official enquiry for Kevin Mirallas.

Mirallas is 27 and has a contract until 2016, Lennon is 27 and has a contract until 2016, transfermarkt have both players valued at £10.56 million ($16.01m - €13.79m), but so near the end of his contract Lennon is now available for £7 million ($10.62m - €9.13m) so a swap deal is financially viable for both clubs. Mirallas earns about £1 million ($1.52m - €1.30m) less than Lennon.
