According to The Athletic, Youssef Chermiti was the target of loan interest from all around Europe during the January transfer window, but he was unable to leave Everton because of injury concerns.
On March 14, the news source stated that there is a perception that he would require first-team playing time the next season, either at Goodison Park or somewhere else, since a loan is still being considered.
It is said that due to the lack of a top striker at the club, the ambition for Chermiti is to develop him into one, and he is very much one for the future.
Will Youssef Chermiti leave Everton on loan this summer?
Having joined in the summer for a £15million fee [BBC Sport, 11 August], the 19-year-old has been given very little chance to impress at Goodison Park, having made just 11 Premier League appearances so far this season.
As well as that, he remains without a single start, sitting behind both Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the pecking order under Sean Dyche, and has averaged just eight minutes per game in the league. [Sofascore]
Given the struggles both Calvert-Lewin and Beto have faced, it seems strange that he has hardly been given a look-in at Everton, but given the gravity of their league position, Dyche prefers to rely on his more experienced campaigners.
Given his age, and the fact he has been touted as one for the future, a loan spell away from Goodison Park next season could do him the world of good in terms of his development and hopefully becoming a regular feature at Everton.
