On Wednesday, Football Scotland reported that their sources at Rincon Escoces had confirmed Real Betis were interested in signing Alfredo Morelos from Rangers.
The striker is currently serving a suspension, after picking up a red card at Aberdeen.
He has been in red hot form all season, though, and now has 23 goals in all competitions.

Of course, for language reasons, a move to Spain might also be suitable.
The La Liga outfit are one of Europe’s most rapidly improving clubs. Therefore, if they do swoop for Morleos in the summer, it may be a tough move to turn down.
