Overview

• Everton and Rangers confirmed a permanent transfer, with reports placing the fee at about £8m rising to £10m and including a significant sell-on clause.
• Chermiti completed the move after finalising formalities at Rangers’ training centre on deadline day, following earlier medical reporting.
• Sky Sports reports the outlay would be Rangers’ largest since Tore Andre Flo’s 2000 signing.
• Head coach Russell Martin said Cyriel Dessers’ substitute appearance against Celtic was likely his last for the club, with Greek sides pursuing a deal.
• Chermiti, signed by Everton from Sporting in 2023, made 24 appearances without scoring, and his exit leaves Beto and Thierno Barry as the senior centre-forward options.
