Wanderers are negotiating the signing of ‘outstanding’ £15million star

There may be some Glasgow Rangers supporters currently asking the board, recruitment department and head coach Russell Martin.

You don’t have to have a super hearing in a 6-0 win over Brugge Club in Wednesday night to learn what it feels like to have some fans.

The Blues have scored 17 goals in ten competitive matches under the new head coach, failed to compete in the Champions League and have so far failed to win any of three matches in the Scottish Premier League.

However, the recruitment department should also bear some responsibilities, because in the end, the players at that time were not performing well at this moment.

Yes, Martin has to develop a system and strategy to get the best of the players, but the players signed by the Rangers shouldn’t make too many simple mistakes.

The recruiting team needs the ability to get the right players in the building, which is why some may be frustrated that Abdallah Sima is currently looking to leave Brighton at a relatively modest fee.

Wanderer missed the trick with Abdallah Sima

Senegal International is reportedly on the verge of signing a side shot of the Ligue 1, a deal worth only £3.9m, plus add-ons.

In the context, the ranger paid £4.5 million to sign Oscar Cortez of the lens as part of their obligation to make a permanent loan this summer. The Colombia Winger has scored a league goal for the Rangers since January 2024.

During Sima’s 2023/24 campaign, the left-side attacker proved the quality of his huge impact on Scottish football.

The £3.9 million star scored 16 goals for all the Ibrox Giants games on all transfer signs and posed a huge goal threat in Philippe Clement’s Premier League.

As you can see in the table above, Sima provided 17 direct goals contributions to the Rangers’ top game that season, and then he returned to Brighton at the end of the loan spell.

Subsequently, Brest scored 12 goals in all games borrowed by Brest in France last season, indicating that he continues to pose a threat in front of the goal.

That’s why the Wanderers missed a £3.9m deal, especially given what they’re paying for Cortes, the recruitment team and Martin might be seen as misunderstanding.

However, GERS is now reportedly looking for a move by a Premier League attacker who may reenact Sima in Ibrox on the 2025/26 campaign.

Wanderers sign Premier League striker in negotiations

According to Rangersreview, the Wanderers have been in contact with Everton in a potential deal to sign Portuguese center Youssef Chermiti.

The report claims that Light Blue has inquired about a season loan agreement that brought him to Ibrox and negotiated before Monday’s deadline.

Everton’s journalist El Bobble added that Gers is in talks to complete a deal for the multi-purpose striker, which shows that progress has been made in recent hours.

The account was previously praised by David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano, claiming that the Scottish giant also wants to include options to make the deal permanent.

Now, the club want to make sure they can end the move for the 21-year-old star within days before the window slams on Monday.

Why Chermiti can be the next Sima for Rangers

Supporters can take a look at Chermiti’s statistics and worry that he hasn’t scored in his goal for more than two years, although he only played four times in the Premier League last season.

Every Transfermarkt, the young forward failed to offer Everton 24 games in all games, which doesn’t instill a lot of hope from fans that hope for his career.

However, Chermiti was called “outstanding” talent by U23 scout Antonio Mango, who also joined the team and appeared in the first team of the sports club before being signed by Everton for a big £15million in 2023.

Although not scoring a competitive target for Everton’s first team, Chermiti has the potential to come to Ibrox with the heavy responsibility of Sima, another borrower at the Premier League club who could have a significant impact on Ibrox.

Westmas didn’t play a single game for Brighton before the loan moved to Glasgow, scoring only five goals on loan at Eggs, indicating that they hadn’t signed a reliable talent at the time.

As you can see in the table above, Chermiti has shown his goal potential at the Portuguese youth level in recent years, scoring 12 goals in 22 games since the U18 football step.

He hasn’t started showing what he can do in the first team, which is why moving to Rangers can make a lot of sense to all involved parties.

Chermiti will have the opportunity to play football and translate his goal-scoring ability at the youth level into the Premier League, while the Rangers will have a talented young player to develop during Ibrox, just like Sima.

However, the main difference between the two deals may be that the wanderer may have the option to implement the deal permanently next summer, which will be important if he has a positive impact on the court.
