Rangers fans have reacted to a Sky Sports report linking Sevilla with a move for Alfredo Morelos.

It’s suggested that the La Liga and Europa League giants are currently ‘considering’ making a move, to fill a void in their squad.

The Spanish club have already recruited centre-forward, Youssef En-Nesyri, from Leganes this month, but they are allegedly in the market for another attacker after allowing Javier Hernandez to join LA Galaxy.

Sevilla, who are currently managed by former Spain and Real Madrid boss Julien Lopetegui, have progressed to the Europa League Round of 32 and are currently a very respectable fourth in the league table.

However, they have struggled for goals so far this season, netting just 25 in 20 league matches, and it’s conceivable that they would be looking to add more potency in a bid to strengthen their grip on a top-four spot.

The Sky Sports report also mentions Inter Milan interest in Morelos, in an apparent reference to a Football Insider report from earlier in the week.

Unsurprisingly, though, Bears haven’t welcomed the links.

Some have suggested it would require a mammoth fee to prize him away from Ibrox before the end of the window, while others believe that no matter the fee, all bids must be rejected. Otherwise, the Gers will lose all chance of winning the league.
