Youssef Chermiti’s transfer future takes shocking turn after David Moyes’ bombshell revelation

Youssef Chermiti appears poised to exit Everton before the transfer window closes, as the club’s influx of attacking talent this summer has significantly reduced his opportunities. With Beto and Thierno Barry currently ahead in the pecking order, the 21-year-old striker now faces a tough battle for playing time under David Moyes.

Chermiti’s situation became more apparent following Everton’s 2-0 Carabao Cup victory over Mansfield Town, where the forward was notably absent from the squad. Typically, such a fixture would provide a chance for younger players like him to gain valuable minutes, but this time he was left out completely.

After the match, Moyes addressed the absence directly, explaining that Chermiti may be on the verge of a move. “There may be a possibility that Chermiti could be on the move, with a potential opportunity for him to play more regularly elsewhere,” Moyes stated, hinting at imminent changes to the young striker’s immediate future.

Interest in Chermiti has reportedly come from several clubs, including newly promoted La Liga side Elche CF and Scottish club Rangers. In addition, multiple Championship teams are said to be monitoring the situation, hoping to secure the forward on a loan deal.

Everton’s preference appears to be a temporary move to the Championship, where Chermiti could benefit from regular first-team football and further his development. The club believes this approach could prepare him for a future role at Everton or increase his market value should they decide to sell.

The Toffees have faced criticism for their lack of revenue from player sales this transfer window, with most departures involving free transfers. Chermiti’s potential loan spell in the Championship could present a rare opportunity for Everton to develop a player who might offer either increased value upon return or a meaningful transfer fee in the future.

Ultimately, whether Chermiti returns to become a key player at Everton or moves on permanently, both club and player seem to recognize that regular playing time elsewhere is essential at this stage of his career.
