Boss Martin told Rangers' official website: “We’re really pleased to bring Youssef to Rangers. He’s a young striker with huge potential and a lot of the qualities we were looking for in that position.
“At just 21, he already has valuable experience at a high level, and we believe this is the right environment for him to continue his development. We’re excited to work with him over the coming years and help him fulfil that potential here at Rangers.”
Sporting director Thelwell added: “I am delighted to welcome Youssef to Rangers. I know his character well from our time at Everton, and I’ve always been impressed by his attitude, professionalism, and hunger to improve.
“We believe he can develop into a top striker here, and we’re confident that Rangers is the right place for him to take that next step.
"We’re all excited about what he can bring to the club over the coming years.”
The player commented: “I am really happy to be here, when I spoke with Kevin and Russell, I knew straight away that I wanted to join the club.
“I can’t wait to meet everyone, the coaches, my teammates and all of the staff. I just want to meet everyone and get involved.
"I have heard about the atmosphere here and the stadium and I can’t wait to play.”
Chermiti joined Everton two years ago from Sporting CP in his homeland.
He played 24 times for the English Premier League club, failing to find the back of the net.
Rangers will be hoping he can rediscover his shooting boots in Glasgow.
