KEVIN MIRALLAS has set himself a 10-goal target for his first season in English football.

Everton’s Belgian forward has made an instant impact in the Premier League since his £5m switch from Olympiakos in the summer, with a string of thrilling displays confirming him as a crowd favourite at Goodison Park.

But while the 25-year-old has been notable for the number and quality of his assists so far, Mirallas wants to add to his goals tally with the Blues.

After two goals on his full debut against Leyton Orient in the Capital One Cup he has scored just once in the Premier League at Swansea City.

But after top-scoring for champions Olympiakos in the Greek Super League last season with 20 goals, Mirallas believes there is more to come from him at Goodison.

“I think at the moment I have more assists than I have goals,” he said.

“I’ve provided one or two decent passes for my colleagues to score, but at the same time I’m hoping to continue to improve in front of goal and I think 10 goals is a reasonable target for my first season.

“If I can manage 10 goals this season then that would be decent.”
