Kenny Miller has warned Rangers that linked-away star Alfredo Morelos ‘will be a miss’ unless he is replaced by the club, as he told Go Radio.
The former Gers man added that Morelos’ goalscoring record is ‘very, very good’, but admitted that there are times where he ‘could have been fitter’.
For a number of transfer windows, Morelos’ name has been touted to head for the Ibrox exit door, this time it’s Sevilla keen to add him to their ranks.
The Spanish club could provide the 26-year-old with Champions League football, with the Gers losing the Europa League final to Eintracht Frankfurt last season.
Nonetheless, Miller broke down Morelos’ time in Glasgow and how well the all-action striker has faired in the colours of Rangers during his years at the club.
“His goalscoring, you are looking at 18, 30, 29, 17 and 18 over the course of his five years at Rangers, which culminates at 112 goals in 224 appearances,” said Miller. “That’s a goal every other game, that’s very, very good.
“I agree, he could be fitter. You look at him sometimes, when Steven Gerrard came in, there was a lot of work and emphasis put on him that he probably needed to shred down a little bit. He’s also played 224 games in five years, I mean my Maths is pretty good, that’s 45 games a season, so he’s not missed as much.
“For me, it is (history re his discipline). He has been excellent for the last two seasons, maybe even three. The only way he’s not a loss is if someone comes in and replaces the goals he scored. Morelos is Rangers’ number nine, the talisman. All-time top-scorer in Europe and he’s only been there five years.
“Some of his best performances have been in Europe – Alfredo will be a miss, there is no getting away from that if he leaves. He will be tough to replace.”
WILL MORELOS JOIN SEVILLA?
It seems as though Sevilla have tabled an initial offer of £7 million for Morelos, but that has been rejected by the club who want £11 million for their player.
It wasn’t so long ago that Premier League clubs were keen on the Gers striker, at that time, his value was £20 million+, but it seems to have changed now.
Whilst the Colombian star had a bad habit of getting silly red cards for his immature actions during his early years at the club, including during Old Firm games.
All of that has gone out of the window, as Rangers now have a big call to make on whether or not to sell him this summer.
