Everton sold Youssef Chermiti to Scottish giants Rangers on deadline day.
After two years at Everton, David Moyes decided to sanction the sale of Youssef Chermiti for a fee in the region of £10m.
Chermiti has already made four appearances for Rangers, though he is yet to get off the mark with a goal.
The 21-year-old came off the bench in the 2-1 win against Livingston yesterday, and Rangers fans have delivered a very bold assessment of the big-money signing.
Rangers give verdict on former Everton striker Youssef Chermiti
Chermiti hasn’t made a great start to his Rangers career and fans are yet to be convinced, especially considering he’s their third most expensive signing in history.
They took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to react to his fourth outing for the club yesterday.
“Chermiti might actually go down as the worst Rangers signing of all time, pound for pound anyway,” @RyanYorkieBar2 posted.
@jambo4000 added: “The Chermiti transfer fee was utterly bonkers and obviously was all down to Thelwell who thinks Martin is one of the best managers around!.”
“Chermiti isn’t even worth 150k,” @2DeeZ__ commented.
@Smudgersmith15 admitted: “Chermiti doesn’t look like a £1M striker at the moment but needs time too.”
“I didn’t even realise Chermiti was on the park,” @AngelusB4 said.
Youssef Chermiti isolated in Russell Martin’s system
In fairness to Chermiti, it’s not been an easy start to his Rangers career due to the protests against manager Russell Martin.
Martin has won just one of his first six league games in charge, and his system isn’t getting the best out of Chermiti and the other forwards.
The style of play has left them isolated, and there’s been a real struggle to create quality changes, so the former Everton striker can definitely turn things around.
The 2004-born is still learning his trade, but up at Ibrox, there’s a lot of pressure to deliver immediately because of the expectations that come with the size of the club.
