Rangers might be a striker light next season, with Alfredo Morelos linked with a move to Newcastle.

Don Balon make the claim, which Gers fans might see as a good thing if they want him to stay. The publication are hardly the most reputable, so Toon fans should maybe hold fire on getting shirts with Morelos printed on the back of them.

The report claims that he could cost £20million.

The Colombian striker had a wild season in Scotland, ending it with the league’s golden boot prize after scoring 18 goals. But it was also a season that saw him pick up numerous red cards, with the likes of Scott Brown targeting him and playing on his short fuse.

This is a short fuse that would make him a risk for Newcastle. We’ve already had a striker with discipline issues, and Rafa Benitez shipped him off to Fulham. So it’s clear that the manager hasn’t got time for players he can’t rely on.

Benitez’s former captain Steven Gerrard has been watching over Morelos this season, and he’s been very out spoken at times about the 22-year-old’s issues.

But what do the Rangers fans think about Morelos possibly leaving for Newcastle?
