Youssef Chermiti, birthed in the almighty day of 24 May 2003 in Portugal. By this stage of history, the laddie, now of the ripe age of 21, finds himself parading around as a forward for Rangers. More often than not, he's given the thankless task of playing striker. He boasts a towering size of about 6ft 3in (1.92m) tall and tips the scales at around 13st 3lb (84kg). This presumably allows him to give his marker an uncomfortable afternoon. For those keeping score at home, Youssef traps around in the number 9 jersey.
His market value, for those interested in the commodification of footballers, is approximately €8.00m. Or in real currency, that's about £7m, as informed by Transfermarkt.
Cast your mind back to July 2016, at the tender age of youth, Chermiti washed up the shores of Sporting CP in Portugal's Liga. It was here he cut his teeth, making a respectable 16 appearances and even netting three times. If you couldn't care less about goals - congratulations, you're management material.
In a turn of bad luck for English football, in August 2023, Chermiti abandoned the sunny climes of Portugal for the greyness of the Premier League, landing at Everton for the princely sum of plus or minus £11m. Here, he graced the Evertonian grass 18 times in the 2023 - 2024 season, before vanishing almost completely with a mere four appearances in 2024 - 2025.
With a further decline in fortune, September 2025 saw Chermiti swap Merseyside for the land of shinty and haggis in Scotland, fetching up at Rangers for a knock-down fee of approximately £8m. Currently in the 2025 - 2026 season, he has gathered seven appearances and even managed a single goal, perhaps indicating his ability to actually do his job, occasionally.
Bottom drawer trivia for party bores includes his single start and appearance as a substitute in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Rangers, coupled with four starts in the Europa League 2025 - 2026. Now isn’t that something to tell the grandchildren about?
