Leicester City reportedly want to bring Alfredo Morelos to the Premier League from Glasgow Rangers.

Leicester City fans have changed their minds about Alfredo Morelos.

The striker has enjoyed a superb season north of the border with Rangers, scoring 29 goals and setting up 11 more for the Scottish Premiership giants. He has even forced his way into the Colombian national squad heading into this summer’s Copa America.

Sky Sports claimed recently that Leicester were eyeing a deal that would see Morelos leave Ibrox for the Premier League. Former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers knows how good the former HJK Helsinki striker can be on his day after all with Rangers apparently demanding a fee of £20 million.

But there is another side to this firebrand forward. Morelos is a natural-born goal-scorer with power, pace and the ability to finish clinically one-on-one. But when Mr Hyde shows himself, he frequently lets himself down.

He was Rangers’ best hope of a victory in Sunday’s Old Firm derby but instead he found himself drawing an early bath, sent off for the fifth (yes fifth!) time this season with a stupid elbow on Scott Brown.

While plenty of Rangers fans have run out of patience, it seems the Leicester supporters have, too.
