Could Rangers tartget Elvir Koljic get the best out of Alfredo Morelos if he joined?

Rangers have reportedly moved to sign striker Elvir Koljic from Bosnian club FK Krupa and he could turn out to be a top signing if he cranks up pressure on the current attackers at Ibrox.

Krupa president Drasko Ilic has told BIH in Bosnia that the Scottish giants are one of the teams to have made an offer for centre-forward Koljic.

Panathinaikos, Red Star and Waasland-Beveren have also all allegedly made offers to try land the 23-year-old, but club president Ilic detailed they are not in a hurry to sell one of their star players.

Rangers could do with an extra attacker to put pressure on frontline striker Alfredo Morelos this season, who has had a slow start to the campaign with just one goal in five games.

The 22-year-old was also sent off early in the opening league draw against Aberdeen and manager Steven Gerrard can’t rely on him every week as it stands, with loanee Umar Sadiq the only cover.

However, target Koljic could be the answer to the Morelos dilemma and having some serious competition behind him could help improve.

Koljic has scored five goals in just three appearances so far this season for Krupa and he is a man in red-hot form for his club.

The Bosnia international has shown he knows where the net is and he could be a real success story if he manages to adapt to Scottish football quickly.

Rangers will have a battle on their hands first to try sign Koljic, but he could be the young hungry striker that could really improve Gerrard’s squad and also help Morelos play to his maximum.
