Former Rangers manager Mark Warburton has raved about Alfredo Morelos, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
The Colombian striker has 25 goals already this season for the Gers and has reportedly attracted attention from the likes of Crystal Palace and St Etienne [Scotsman].
Steven Gerrard has asserted that his talisman isn’t for sale in the January window [The Times], but the QPR boss thinks that when the time comes, Morelos could work wonders in the Premier League.
Warburton raves about Rangers striker Morelos
“The most important aspect of his play is that he scores goals,” said Warburton, as quoted by the Daily Mail. “You hear things like ‘he was disappointing until he hit two late goals.”
“Believe me, there will be Premier League clubs looking at him. There may be a risk in signing him but there could be a massive reward.”
Verdict
Warburton has clearly been impressed by El Buffalo’s scoring exploits this season and he’s far from alone.
His incredible record in Europe, where he’s scored five goals in his last four appearances, including away from home against all three Group G opponents, suggests he really could cut it at the top level. His brace against Feyenoord, in particular, featured the kind of finishing you only see from top of the range strikers.
All the noises from the club suggest that he’s going nowhere until at least the summer.
Bears will be hoping that before his departure, he continues his superb goalscoring form and helps the Gers to multiple trophies.
First on the agenda is the League Cup, with Morelos hoping to break his duck against Celtic in style.
