Well, well, well, if it isn't Youssef Chermiti. You may know him as the strapping 6ft 3in (1.92m) forward who bulldozes his way through defenders with the grace of a wardrobe sliding down a hill. He was born on 24 May in the year of 2004, meaning he started kicking balls around Portugal long before most of us had even heard of Johnny Depp. These days, he's walloping balls into the net for Rangers, with his trusty number 9 shirt stretched over his 13st 3lb (84kg) frame.
As of now, his market value is a cool £5.5m, according to the oh-so-scientific Transfermarkt. A sum he's worth? You be the judge!
Moving on to his zestful journey across leagues and countries, he started out as a wee trainee at Sporting CP in Portugal, which must've been a thrill. In his virgin season of 2022-2023, this budding hopeful pulled off the modest feat of hitting the target thrice in 16 league outings.
Unfortunately, Portugal proved just too sun-drenched for Chermiti, who swapped it for drizzly ole' England in August 2023. Signing for Everton in a deal worth around £11m, he gave the ball boys running practice in 18 league matches in the 2023-2024 season. The following season wasn't as eventful with just four matches. Perhaps he spent the English winter sipping hot cocoa by the fire instead of running after balls in the freezing cold?
England didn't beguile Chermiti for long, though, and he met his destiny - or should I say Rangers - with an £8m flamboyant pirouette in September 2025. He's certainly been busy with them, turning out in green and blue 21 times in the 2025-2026 season, even managing to bang in nine goals.
Let's not neglect his cameos outside the league. Chermiti graced the Scottish Cup playing once, trotted out for the League Cup in one start and one appearance off the bench, and even crisscrossed the continent in the Europa League with seven starts and one substitute appearance. What a terribly busy lad our Youssef is!
