Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have a top striker in Alfredo Morelos.

Kevin Kyle has told Open Goal that it’s ‘frightening’ how much potential Rangers hitman Alfredo Morelos has.

The Colombian striker, a £1 million signing in 2017 [The Scottish Sun], has emerged as potentially the best player in Scottish football this season under Rangers manager Steven Gerrard.

Morelos, who stands at 5 foot 10, has netted 26 goals in all competitions and leads the way for the Scottish Premiership’s Golden Boot with 16.

And Kyle, who spent the 2012-13 campaign at Ibrox, says it’s scary how good Morelos – still only 22 – can be in the coming years.

He told Open Goal: “He’s got so much potential it’s frightening. He’s just got to work out what he can do better.

“I don’t know what it is with him but he must be in the gym everyday. He is one of the smallest, strongest centre-forwards I have ever seen.

“He has this low centre of gravity and core, he must just be working on the upper top because he’s so strong. I think that is why he gets into trouble so much.”

According to Herald Scotland, Rangers will be looking for around £20 million for Morelos this summer.

It sounds high, but if Moussa Dembele fetched that money for Celtic last summer then the same should be paid for the South American.

It’s very likely that he will hit the 30-goal mark with the Gers by the time this season finishes and therefore that makes top dollar.
