According to TEAMtalk, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is interested in signing Alfredo Morelos from Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2019.

It has been reported that Rodgers, who recently left his managerial role at Celtic to take the role at Leicester in the Premier League, believes that Morelos can make a big impact in England.

The former Liverpool boss has reportedly told the Foxes to keep track of the 22-year-old Colombia international striker.

Worrying for Rangers?

Morelos is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership, and the youngster’s performances for Rangers since he moved to the Gers in the summer of 2017 have been hugely impressive.

The youngster does have the potential to make it big in England, and with Rodgers reportedly keeping tabs on Morelos, Rangers should be worried about losing the star striker at the end of the season.

According to WhoScored, Morelos made 23 starts and one substitute appearance in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers, scoring 16 goals in the process, according to WhoScored.
