Everton have confirmed the signing of Belgian international forward Kevin Mirallas.
The 24-year-old joins the Goodison Park side on a four-year deal from Olympiacos.
The player had been tracked by a number of European clubs, including Arsenal, before agreeing the deal to join Everton for an undisclosed fee - reported to be around £6m (Dh34.6m).
"I've known Everton have been following me for a while and after talking with the manager I decided coming to Everton was the best opportunity for me," he told the club's official website.
The striker, who scored 20 goals in 25 games for the Greek side last season, will not be eligible to face Manchester United on Monday, having signed after Friday's transfer deadline.
