Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been on fire at Ibrox this season.

Iran head coach Carlos Quieroz looks on priorn to the AFC Asian Cup semi final match between Iran and Japan at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium on January 28, 2019 in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.

New Colombia boss Carlos Quieroz has been quoted by The Scottish Sun as saying that he wants to see Alfredo Morelos in action for Rangers.

Morelos, 22, has been in unbelievable form for Rangers this season, hitting 27 goals in 39 games in an eventful season for the striker.

His well-publicised disciplinary problems have been an issue for the Gers, but his goalscoring ability has made him a star at Ibrox.

Earlier this season, Morelos picked up his first cap for Colombia, and there will be plenty of emphasis placed on his development over the coming years.

A generation of Colombian strikers are into their 30’s now; Radamel Falcao, Carlos Bacca, Teofilo Gutierrez and Jackson Martinez are all coming towards the end of their days as top strikers.

Morelos is the big hope for the future of the Colombian attack, and it will be up to new Colombia boss Quieroz to use him to the best of his ability.

Quieroz, a former Manchester United assistant and ex-Real Madrid boss, has now talk about his new job, having only been appointed earlier this month.

The Portuguese coach has admitted that he’s really keen to see Morelos in action for Rangers along with other European-based players, adding that he wants to meet and speak with them too.

“It’s very important to watch and speak to my European-based players and I intend to do that,” said Quieroz. “There are others I want to see too like David Ospina from Napoli, Radamel Falcao at Monaco and Alfredo Morelos at Rangers.”

“There isn’t a great deal of time between now and the Copa America in June and we currently only have two games scheduled, so I want to meet as many of the squad as I can,” he added.
