Agreement claim made as Youssef Chermiti misses training for Everton transfer talks
Everton are likely to reach an agreement with Sporting CP striker Youssef Chermiti shortly as they look to seal the permanent signing, according to O Jogo.
The Portuguese newspaper wrote in its website on Thursday (3 August) that the 19-year-old even missed training for talks with the Toffees.
He turned down the first offer but is understood to be in talks as he fancies moving to Goodison Park this summer.
Get it done
Chermiti will be the second attacker Everton will have signed this summer with Arnaut Danjuma already joining on loan.
After completing his medical in January and ditching them for a move to Tottenham Hotspur, the Dutchman was back at Finch Farm.
While he was a relatively known name to the Toffees faithful, Chermiti will have come out of the blue.
That being said, if this is a striker Sean Dyche wants and he’s been in the market for one since January, then fans should just back his calls.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is extremely unreliable and at this point, anyone is preferable if they know how to find the back of the net.
At 19, it remains to be seen if the striker will be a first-team regular or will be eased into the playing eleven by Dyche.
In exclusive Everton news, the Toffees now have to pay £21.4m to land a Brazilian striker to lead their line for next season.
