Premier League outfit Crystal Palace have been linked with a move for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, but does transfer interest in CSKA striker Fedor Chalov kill even the faintest interest?
Steven Gerrard has been expressing his frustration at journalists routinely asking the question of Morelos.
But whilst talk continues, there have been no formal bids for the striker.
Going by reported one-time suitors Crystal Palace’s transfer business, it could be set to stay that way.
The London club has already signed Jordan Ayew whilst
Sky Sports are reporting they’ve bid £14m for Russia and CSKA Moscow forward Fedor Chalov.
The 21-year-old forward is coming off the back of a superb season with CSKA, scoring 17 goals, registering seven assists and earning his first two Russia caps.
For perhaps a couple million more, Palace could’ve tempted Rangers to sell Morelos this season.

The 30-goal Colombian firebrand is a big part of Rangers plans this season and thus a big offer would be required to take him away from Ibrox.
Palace’s recent transfer business follows on from that of fellow reported suitors West Ham [
Daily Star], who opted to splash out on Sebastien Haller instead.
It says something too that Premier League new boys Sheffield United – who have in no way been linked with Alfredo Morelos – look prepared to spend up to £20m on Oliver McBurnie.
For the same price, they could’ve likely secured Alfredo Morelos.
Going by the latest moves in England, it is looking increasingly likely that Alfredo Morelos won’t be moving to the Premier League.
This summer at least.
