Rangers have reportedly booted out a £10m plus bid for star striker Alfredo Morelos from Championship outfit West Brom, according to the Daily Record.
The publication claims that the Baggies mounted the bid on the eve of the English transfer window closing but Rangers have held firm.
The report also claims that West Brom would’ve added multiple add-ons to the deal should the club bounce straight back to the Premier League.

But none of this appears to have been enough to coax Rangers into parting with the Colombian international, who scored 30 goals last season.
The bid is still claimed to have fallen some way short of Rangers’ valuation of the player.
The report also claims that West Brom boss Slaven Bilic has now moved on to other targets but won’t completely close the door on a deal until they get someone else in.

Crystal Palace, West Ham [
Daily Star], Eintracht Frankfurt [Daily Record] and Hebei China Fortune [Sky Sports News] have all been credited with an interest in Morelos during this transfer window.
If Alfredo Morelos stays put at Ibrox, it represents a significant boost to the club’s fortunes this season.
