In Form Olympiacos Striker, Kevin Mirallas In Talks With Arsenal

Olympiacos striker Kevin Mirallas has revealed that his agent is in talks with Arsenal, with the two clubs reportedly deciding on a fee. The forward has been in impressive form since joining from Saint-Etienne two years ago and the Greek club are not prepared to compromise on their asking price.

Reports had previously linked the 24-year-old with a move to the Emirates Stadium and Mirallas has now confirmed that there has been contact between the two clubs, but insists that he would be content to remain where he is if the deal is not finalised.

“There is still a chance I will move to the Premier League,” Mirallas told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad. “My agent is having talks with Arsenal, those rumours are true. Only Olympiakos is in the way. They want 8 million Euros and not a penny less. But if the move doesn’t come through, I am happy to stay in Athens.”

Mirallas featured for Olympiacos in their 3-1 victory against Arsenal in the Champions League last season and has scored 34 goals in 52 appearances for the club.

Arsenal open their Premier League campaign at home against Sunderland on August 18.
