Kevin Mirallas has revealed that he came close to leaving Everton for Tottenham Hotspur in 2015, only for the Toffees to block his exit.
Mirallas, who left Everton for Royal Antwerp during the summer, enjoyed his finest season in the Premier League in the 2013/14 campaign, firing eight goals and nine assists. He began the 2014/15 campaign in similar form, which caught Spurs' eye.
Speaking to The Athletic, Mirallas confessed he was eager to make the move to White Hart Line after Everton had sent him plenty of mixed signals about his future at the club.
