EVERTON assistant manager Steve Round is impressed by new signing Kevin Mirallas and expects him to make his home debut in tonight’s League Cup second-round match against Leyton Orient at Goodison Park.
The 24-year-old Belgium striker signed a four-year deal to join the Toffees from Olympiakos last week and played the last 20 minutes of their 3-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend.
“(We are) very pleased. He is a very fast, sharp player that gives us a different dimension,” Round said.
“He will run in behind and he’s very alert.
“We have to be a bit careful because he has come from Greek football and in the Premier League it is difficult to settle and it takes bit of time.
“I think we are prepared to give him that time and bring him along gradually.
“First impressions are pleasing and it looks like he will be a very good player for Everton.
“I presume he will feature at some stage. If he doesn’t start he will obviously be on the bench. It is a good opportunity to bring him in and around the team.”
