Kevin Mirallas has taken a swipe at Everton boss Roberto Martinez.

The Belgium winger, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham this summer, claims that he turned down interest from Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window to stay at Goodison Park and help turn around the team's fortunes after a difficult start to the season.

He said: "Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid were interested, but Everton obliged me to stay at the club. I understood because our young group performed below expectations. So I had to stay, but in the second half I was suddenly playing less games.

"There are promises broken and yet it makes for a somewhat awkward relationship with the coach. Soon I will have a conversation with him.

"I have had a beautiful two-and-a-half years with Everton. I have experienced many great moments and for that I must thank the club. So I don't know whether I will leave, it is a decision I have to make in consultation with my family."
