Everton Striker Youssef Chermiti Expected to Leave on Loan

Youssef Chermiti, a 21-year-old striker at Everton, is expected to leave on loan as he has fallen behind Beto and Thierno Barry in the attacking pecking order and has seen limited playing time, starting only one Premier League game since joining in 2023. Everton manager David Moyes has confirmed Chermiti's potential loan move, with Rangers and several Championship clubs showing interest, and the club prefers a loan to aid his development. Rangers, where former Everton director Kevin Thelwell now works, are keen to sign Chermiti to address their striker shortage following the sale of Hamza Igamane. Despite Chermiti’s struggles, Everton still rate his long-term potential and see a loan spell as beneficial for gaining experience. Meanwhile, Norwich City is focusing on targeted recruitment, particularly in midfield creativity and attack flexibility, with players like Elliot Stroud from Sweden being considered to strengthen their squad after losing Marcelino Nunez to Ipswich Town. Additionally, Jose Mourinho may soon be available for a new managerial role and has expressed interest in managing a Premier League club battling relegation, with Leeds United and Rangers among the potential destinations linked to him.
