Kevin Mirallas claims that Atletico Madrid asked about his availability during the January transfer window as the Everton forward looks increasingly likely to leave Goodison Park.

The Belgium international, who has also been linked with a move to Tottenham, says he is 'ready for a new challenge' after arriving on Merseyside from Olympiacos for £6million in August 2012.

Mirallas has started only 13 Premier League games during an injury plagued season, but has scored five goals and generally impressed - aside from failing to convert a penalty against West Brom after taking the ball off Leighton Baines.

'There have been offers and enquiries, but no real negotiations. January isn't the ideal month for a transfer,' he told La Capitale.

'I have never said I absolulety want to leave Everton. I like it over here, but I feel ready for a new challenge.

'I dream of playing in the Champions League next season. With Everton or another club. I just have to see after this season. Don't forget, the 2015 Europa League winners will qualify for the following season's Champions League.

'I'll make a decision after the season. I like the Premier League, but Spain also tempts me. Atletico have enquired, but there was no offer.'
