The future of Alfredo Morelos looked a little clearer after leaving Rangers in May when news of a move to Fenerbahce broke.
A reunion with Ryan Kent obviously attracted the Colombian international, even if competition for places up front is fierce.

Alfredo Morelos is almost back at square one in his pursuit somewhere he can call home but it doesn’t look like the balloon shops of Istanbul will be seeing their profits rise any time soon.
