West Ham's loss is Everton's gain - that's according to today's round of transfer rumours today.

Indeed, it's all Goodison Park exits on the agenda today, but there is good news for the Blues.

The Hammers had been linked with a audacious move for the Belgian winger this summer, but it now appears as though they are going to have to forget about a deal.

Reports this morning suggest that Everton have been quick to knock back West Ham's attempts to sign Mirallas, and the Hammers have finally got the hint regarding the winger.

A West Ham fansite even quotes a source, saying the Toffees have shown no interest in selling on of their star men.

The source is quoted as saying: “We have kept going but it’s beginning to look less and less likely. There’s always a chance but it’s down to about 25 per cent.

“We have no first hand knowledge of whether a new deal has been offered to the player but we have had no encouragement from Everton on this one at all.”

Another tenuous link today is reports of a move to Manchester United for Romelu Lukaku.

Blues fans have Memphis Depay to blame after the new United forward uploaded a picture of himself with Everton's record signing together with the message "See you soon".

Now that, nowadays, is tantamount to saying that Lukaku is Manchester United's next signing.

He isn't, of course, and Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur took to Twitter to set the record straight - revealing that the two players will see each other soon, because they live in the same neighbourhood.

Mystery solved.

And finally, there is one man who looks as though he could be on his way out of Goodison Park and that is youngster Chris Long.

The 20-year-old striker is out of contract at Goodison Park and, despite being offered a new deal by the Toffees, has seemingly accepted a contract at Burnley, with the offer of first team football simply too good to turn down.

The Blues are set to receive a compensation fee because of the player's age, and that will have to be thrashed out between the two clubs - or it will head to a tribunal.

Long will be remembered for scoring this wonder goal against Paderborn one year ago:
