“It's a big move for me. Joining Everton is a new beginning, a new page and I'm very happy to be here. It is a beautiful city and a beautiful club," Chermiti told the club’s official website.
“Everton is a big club. A lot of legends have played here. I couldn't turn down this opportunity. It's a big moment for me and now I'm fully focused to get to work."
The Portugal Under-19 international, who will wear the No 28 shirt, made his breakthrough at Sporting last season, playing in both the Primeira Liga and the UEFA Europa League.
Everton manager Sean Dyche added: “Youssef is a talented young striker who can add a different dimension to our squad.
