Everton boss Martinez confirms Mirallas talks planned

Everton boss Roberto Martinez will hold talks with Kevin Mirallas over his contract situation.

Mirallas has made no secret of his ambition to play in the Champions League.

"Every player needs to be pleased and happy with that, so in the summer we'll sit down and assess what has been," said Martinez. "For that reason the next seven games are vital and will give you a much clearer picture of what you do in the summer.

"I know there have been a couple of times he's had quotes translated from interviews. I don't think anything he has said is disrespectful or out of the norm. The way I see it he's one of those players who loves playing football and he hasn't got any other motivation.

"He still has a two year contract. If he were out of contract, I would be worried, but all I want is for him to be fully recovered."
