Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos continues to attract interest off the back of his success at Ibrox.

Ex-Rangers captain Richard Gough has told The Scotsman that LA Galaxy technical director Jovan Kirovski has been asking him about Alfredo Morelos.

The Gers beat Aberdeen 5-0 on Saturday afternoon, hammering the Dons at Ibrox in a comprehensive victory for Steven Gerrard’s side.

Striker Morelos got himself on the scoresheet with a fine header, meaning he has now hit 13 goals and four assists in 17 games for Rangers so far this season.

With a recall to the Colombia squad and a noticeable decline in disciplinary issues, Morelos looks to be progressing at a superb rate, enhancing his value in the process.

Rangers won’t be looking to entertain any bids in January though, even if some clubs are interested, and LA Galaxy appear to be another side tracking him.

Former Rangers ace Gough has now admitted that Galaxy director Kirovski came to Ibrox to watch the Aberdeen game, and was specifically asking about Morelos.

Kirovski felt that Morelos looks ‘a touch heavy’, meaning Galaxy may not move for Morelos, but Gough told him that it doesn’t matter because he’s a natural goalscorer.

Gough also hailed Morelos for calming down in terms of his discipline, and it now remains to be seen whether Galaxy attempt to lure him over to Major League Soccer.

“Jovan is a friend of mine and I sat next to him at the game on Saturday,” said Gough. “He is in Europe to see a number of things at the moment. He was asking me about Alfredo and I told him he’s just a pure goalscorer. Jovan said, ‘Yeah, but he looks a touch heavy’, but I told him just to keep watching and he would definitely score. True enough, he scored with a great finish just a few minutes later.”

“I’ve been really impressed with him this season. He seems to have calmed down a bit, screwed the nut and realised the ability he has got. He seems to be more comfortable within himself and he played very well against Aberdeen,” he added.
