Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers should look at Divock Origi, if Alfredo Morelos leaves.
Some Rangers fans might have preferred the transfer window in Scotland to close when the Premier League one did.
That is because there seems to be uncertainty growing over the future of Alfredo Morelos.
Rangers rejected a £3.75 million bid from Bordeaux earlier this week and Gers boss Steven Gerrard didn’t rule out a departure, but suggested that a much bigger offer was needed to sign him [BBC Sport].
The Colombian has looked in tip-top form under Gerrard this season and some fans of the Ibrox club would hate to lose him.
Selling him is, however, a possibility and Gerrard should take a look at Liverpool hitman Divock Origi if the 22-year-old does wind up leaving Glasgow.
Rangers are already linked with Origi’s team-mate Dominic Solanke, but signing the Belgian on a permanent basis is a much better option for the Scots than Solanke on a season-long loan.
But is he affordable? Well according to CIES Football Observatory, the Reds value Origi at around £10.7 million, which seems doable if Bordeaux do come along with a huge bid for Morelos.
It hasn’t really happened for the 23-year-old in the Premier League, but he would tear up the Scottish Premiership given half the chance and Rangers fans would surely jump at the prospect of signing him.
