Sevilla eye late January swoop for Rangers star Alfredo Morelos

Sevilla are eyeing a swoop for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, according to reports.  

The 23-year-old has scored 28 goals for the Gers this term and 76 since joining from HJK in 2017.

However, Sky Sports report that the Scottish Premiership title contenders look set to receive a bid from Sevilla for their goal-getter.

It’s claimed the La Liga outfit want the Colombia international after Javier Hernandez left for LA Galaxy.

Hernandez joined LA Galaxy from Sevilla earlier this week.

But with Rangers chairman Dave King claiming last year that they wouldn’t sell Morelos for under £40million, the Spanish side may have to fork out a hefty sum to land their target.

Steven Gerrard will also be keen to keep hold of the forward with his side currently in the hunt to win their first league title since 2011.

Despite his exploits in front of goal, Morelos’ time at Ibrox hasn’t come without controversy with the South American seeing red on seven occasions.
