Mirallas pushing for a deal but Lennon to Monaco?

The press in Belgium are running stories that their countryman, Kevin Mirallas wants out of Everton and is pushing for a move to Tottenham before the January deadline closes.



This isn't the first time we have heard that Miralles wants out at Everton. He only has 18 months left on his contract and is not thought to want to sign another one when a move to Tottenham would team him up with Jan Vertonghen, Mousa Dembele and Nacer Chadli.

Tottenham are looking to offload Aaron Lennon who like Miralles has a contract until 30th June 2016 and a straight swap is proposed just as I predicted earlier in the window. A few days we then had the press latching onto the news and stories started appearing. Spurs are once again trying to get Everton to accept Aaron lennon in a straight swap.

Hull City have been pushing hard to take Lennon on loan to join former teammates Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore and while that deal is close it is not certain. Spurs have been pushing for a guaranteed buy after a loan period and there is no indication that Hull want to buy him. If an Everton move and more money suddenly became possible then things would change rapidly. He is a much wanted player with a host of Premier League clubs linked as well as David Moyes at Real Sociedad making enquiries and Monaco opening talks with Spurs over a proposed move.

Tottenham are looking for £7 million for Lennon and Everton can only command a similar amount  for Mirallas because of the length left on his contract. The stories of Lennon plus cash have been wide of the mark and value the Everton winger as if he has longer left on his contract. It's an error many fans make when judging the value of a player, the press too.
