Everton should keep track of Alfredo Morelos.
Glasgow Rangers attacker Alfredo Morelos said this week he is hoping to earn a move to the English Premier League, report the Daily Record.
Morelos has scored 20 goals in 33 games this season for the Gers, and he is a striker Everton should be taking an interest in.
Everton have an impressive squad, yet are clearly short up front. A big money move for Cenk Tosun has not worked out, with the Turkish striker scoring only twice this season.
The Toffees are not ready to give up on Tosun yet, but its clear they need to give him more competition in case he cannot step his game up.
Morelos is the type of player Everton should be looking at.
He is only 22-years-old and is already a Colombia international.
It’s easy to dismiss his scoring record because he plays in a weaker league, but Rangers took that gamble when he was the top scorer in the Finnish top flight, and it paid off.
Morelos has also scored in the Europa League this season, with the competition accounting for four of his goals.
He is not a perfect forward by any means. He has discipline issues, three red cards this season, and has not scored in five matches against Celtic.
Yet if Everton are looking to take a gamble on a young, prolific striker, who is ambitious and has big re-sale value, Morelos is worth taking a punt on, and could thrive with the roar of the Goodison Park crowd behind him.
