Chermiti awaits travel plans to jet in for Everton medical as terms agreed
Youssef Chermiti is awaiting to see what his travel plans are as he looks to jet into Merseyside ahead of his Everton medical, according to Record.
The Portuguese newspaper reported on page five of it’s print edition on 6 August that a deal has been agreed with the 19-year-old forward and that he is expected to sign a five-year contract.
It said the Portuguese is now waiting to hear instructions about when he can fly into Liverpool to complete his medical to become a Toffees player.
Matter of time
It seems like being just a matter of time now before the transfer to take Chermiti to Everton can be completed, with the medical the final remaining hurdle to overcome.
The newspaper reported that the negotiations over the forward’s contract were “not easy” but that the Blues managed to reach an agreement with him last night (5 August).
It said the fee will be an initial £13million that could eventually rise to about £17.3million depending on how the Portuguese performs during his time at Goodison Park.
The 6’4″ forward broke into the Primeira Liga side’s team last season and scored three goals and laid on two assists in 22 appearances [Transfermarkt].
Although it’s hard to imagine he will be thrown straight into the starting lineup, Sean Dyche will be hoping the teenager can have an impact in the upcoming campaign as he looks to add more goals to his side.
