Glasgow Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is reportedly on the radar of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has suggested that Alfredo Morelos does not need to leave Ibrox amid speculation linking him with Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, as quoted in The Birmingham Mail.

According to The Scottish Sun, Palace are interested in signing Morelos from Rangers in the January transfer window and are planning to make a £20 million move.

The report has also claimed that Villa have the 23-year-old Colombia international striker on their radar.

Rangers manager Gerrard has suggested that there is no need for Morelos to go to another club as he is already at a “massive” one.

The Birmingham Mail quotes Gerrard as saying about Morelos: “They (teams) can have a look at him if they want, but he’s signed here for a long time.

“We are enjoying having him, working with him, he’s in great form and enjoying his football. He’s already at a massive club worldwide, so why would you need to change?”

Rangers stay

Morelos is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership and is a key figure in the current Rangers team.

It is hard to see Gerrard sanction a move for the youngster in the middle of the season, and the Rangers hierarchy should try their best to make sure that the striker does not leave Ibrox until next summer.
