Everton striker Kevin Mirallas has backed his countrymen Dries Mertens and Nacer Chadli to flourish in the English Premier League.
A number of Belgian talents are lighting up England’s top flight, with Mirallas just one of those making his presence felt.
And the number of Belgium internationals plying their trade alongside Mirallas and co. in England could grow in time for the 2013/14 campaign.
PSV Eindhoven winger Mertens has been linked with Everton’s rivals Liverpool on several occasions; if he landed at Anfield he would come face to face with Mirallas in the fiercely contested Merseyside derby.

FC Twente star Chadli, another who plays primarily as a winger, has also seen himself linked with heading to England, with in his case Fulham the mooted destination.
And Mirallas thinks that both would indeed cut the mustard.
"I cannot say who Everton should sign, but there are some good Belgian players", he told Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad.
"Dries Mertens and Nacer Chadli for example.
"Mertens is a left or right winger and Chadli can play anywhere across the midfield.
"They both can make it in the Premier League."
