Martin Sherif has been charged by The Football Association (FA) for a breach of betting rules.
The forward has been with Everton since 2019 when he joined their academy from Dutch side Almere City.
Sherif has not made a competitive senior appearance for the Toffees and spent last season on loan at Rotherham United and Port Vale.
In a statement, the FA said: “Martin Sherif of Everton FC has been charged with breaching The FA’s betting rules.
“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.”
It remains unclear as to which matches Sherif placed bets on during the period of time mentioned in the statement.
FA rules state that there is a worldwide ban on betting on football for ‘participants of clubs’.
This covers the Premier League, EFL (Championship, League One and League Two), WSL (Women’s Super League), WSL 2, and the National League (North and South).
Isthmian League, Northern Premier League and Southern League players are also prohibited.
Betting on other football-related matters, such as transfers, manager moves or team selections, are also banned.
Furthermore, passing on inside information to somebody that uses it for the purpose of betting are prohibited too.
