Youssef Chermiti

Youssef Chermiti was a significant Premiership scorer for Rangers in 2025-26, making 30 league appearances, starting 20 and scoring 15 goals. That return pointed to a striker used heavily enough to shape their league output, rather than a fringe finisher. His cup contribution was much quieter, with no goals in one Scottish Cup appearance and eight Europa League outings.

Chermiti averaged a 7.18 rating across the season, with a high of 10 and a low of 6.2. That range pointed to some volatility, but the average sat at a solid level for a striker who combined regular starts with a 15-goal league return.

Chermiti’s career path moved from Sporting CP trainee to Everton signing and then Rangers striker by age 22. His scoring output was concentrated in two seasons – three goals in 2022-23 and 15 in 2025-26 – with the Rangers season standing out as the clear senior breakthrough.

The transfer path suggested early market interest rather than a gradual climb through loans. Sporting CP took him in as a trainee in 2016, Everton paid 11,000,000 for him in 2023, and Rangers then paid 8,000,000 in September 2025. The move to Rangers came at a lower fee than Everton’s outlay, but it was followed by his strongest scoring season.
