Everton forward Martin Sherif ⁠has been charged with breaking the FA's ‌betting rules after allegedly placing ‌61 bets on matches over a ‌15-month period, the English governing ‌body said on Wednesday.

Sherif, 20, has not ‌played for Everton's first ⁠team and spent last season on ​loan at third-tier sides Rotherham United ​and Port Vale.

"It is alleged that the player ⁠breached ​FA Rule E1.2 in respect of 61 bets placed on football matches ‌between November 20th 2024 and February 12th 2026," the FA said in a statement.

"Martin Sherif has until Monday, August 17th to provide a response."

Sherif is the ‌latest player to face ​betting-related charges after Ivan ‌Toney received an eight-month suspension in 2023 for 232 breaches of the FA's betting ⁠rules.
