The Football Association has charged Everton forward Martin Sherif with allegedly breaching betting rules over 15 months.
The 20-year-old is accused of placing 61 bets on games between 20 November, 2024, and 12 February, 2026.
Sherif has until Monday, 17 August to respond to the charges.
“Martin Sherif of Everton FC has been charged with breaching the FA’s betting rules,” read an FA statement.
“It’s alleged that the player breached FA Rule E1.2 in respect of 61 bets placed on football matches between 20 November 2024 and 12 February 2026. Martin Sherif has until Monday 17 August to provide a response.”
The Liberia-born attacker joined Everton’s youth set-up in 2019 and began training with the first team in early 2025.
Sherif joined League One side Rotherham United on loan last summer, scoring twice in 10 games, but was recalled in December after suffering a series of injuries.
In February he joined Port Vale on loan for the remainder of the campaign, scoring twice in 17 League One appearances as they suffered relegation.
