Born on the 24 May 2004, Youssef Chermiti is a formidable Portuguese striker who plies his trade with Rangers. A sizable chap, standing at 6ft 3in (1.92m) and tipping the scales at 13st 3lb (84kg). The number 9 emblazoned on his back only adds to his formidable presence on the field.
Having a big label isn’t an issue for Chermiti as his current market value hovers around the £8m mark (translated from €9.00m for those who prefer their numbers to smell of croissants), so says Transfermarkt anyway.
Starting his career in July 2016, he began his life as a trainee with Sporting CP, Portugal’s Liga Portugal, and the world held its collective breath… I’m sure. However, he did managed to make 16 first team appearances and scored a meagre three goals during the 2022 - 2023 season.
Naturally, being such a hot prospect, Everton in the Premier League decided to splash out the princely sum of approximately £11m to snag Chermiti in August 2023. At Everton, between the 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025 seasons, our man managed to grace the pitch 22 times in league matches. I’m sure each of those appearances were truly unforgettable.
In September 2025, Chermiti transferred from England’s Everton to Scotland's Rangers for a sweet deal of around £8m. Maybe the move up North would stimulate his, somewhat chilly, goal-scoring boots. While currently still within the 2025 - 2026 season, Chermiti has made a slightly more impressive 25 first team appearances, knocking in 11 goals for Rangers.
Chermiti, who presumably loves a good cuppa, has also been steaming about in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and even the Europa League during the 2025 - 2026 season– with starts and where necessary, a chance to warm the bench. Brilliant.
