Belgium boss Wilmots thrilled with Everton pair Fellaini, Mirallas

Belgium national team manager Marc Wilmots is delighted with the improvement of Maroune Fellaini and Kevin Mirallas.

The attacking pair have emerged as key players for the Red Devils in recent times and Wilmots puts it down to their education and development at such a club as Everton.

"Every big championship with its packed stadiums is good for the development of our players. Whether it is England, Germany, Italy... it helps the players [to be at the] top level and they bring this experience to the national team," he told the club's official website.

"When I heard Kevin would be moving to Everton I thought it was a good transfer and I think he is enjoying himself because there is also Marouane there as his fellow countryman.

"He (Mirallas) was also good at Olympiakos where he was top goalscorer and he is very young and keeps on growing and improving. The Premier League level is very interesting to him.

"He is fast, he can dribble, he can score and he lets other players score too. He can play different styles and formations and it doesn't affect his level. He will keep improving."
