Rangers’ summer overhaul is set to continue, with The Scottish Sun noting that a £1million deal to sign HJK Helsinki striker Alfredo Morelos.
The Gers have strengthened their defence by bringing in Portuguese centre backs Bruno Alves and Fabio Cardoso, whilst Ryan Jack and imminent signing Carlos Pena will bring tenacity in midfield.
Dalcio can provide pace out wide, Ibrox-bound Daniel Candeias could be a creative force as he reunites with his former Nacional manager Pedro Caixinha, with Mexican striker Eduardo Herrera serving as a focal point up top.

However, Rangers could be about to make their most exciting signing of the summer in Morelos, who has been a goalscoring sensation in Finland with HJK Helsinki.
The former Independiente Medellin ace hit 25 goals in 36 games during the 2016 season in Finland, whilst he even notched four goals in six Europa League games before finding the net 11 times in 12 games in the 2017 Veikkausliiga season.

40 goals in 54 games for HJK Helsinki (World Football) have shown that Morelos is a natural goalscorer, and whilst heading to Ibrox will be something of a step up, Rangers fans should be hugely excited.
You would be hard-pressed to see Morelos scoring goals from outside of the box, as he is a pure poacher; a player who thrives inside the penalty area with great movement and finishing ability, and whilst he stands at just 5ft 10in tall, Morelos is in fact impressive with his back to goal and can scored a number of headers for HJK.

The Colombian has not only impressed with his fox-in-the-box style in Finland, but he is still just 20, meaning that he even has potential to improve with Rangers and develop even further under Caixinha.
At just £1million, this is the kind of signing Rangers need to make; young, promising, with a superb record so far but also under the radar due to playing in a ‘small’ league, Morelos may well be the Gers’ most exciting signing so far this summer, with fans no doubt desperate to see him replicate his Finnish goalscoring exploits at Ibrox.
