West Brom have joined the race to sign striker Alfredo Morelos from Rangers, a report from The Daily Record has claimed.
French side Lille are already said to have agreed terms with Morelos over a move for the striker, although they have yet to agree a fee for the move with Rangers.
That is something that appears to have caught the attention of the Baggies, who are thought to be interested in signing the Colombian striker themselves, although Rangers are not under any financial pressure to sell Morelos, meaning this deal is unlikely to be cheap.
Having joined Rangers from HJK Helsinki in 2017, Morelos has scored 77 goals in 137 appearances in all competitions for the Scottish giants, suggesting he could help alleviate some of West Brom’s attacking concerns should he make the move to The Hawthorns.
This therefore, is a link sparked plenty of reaction amongst the club’s fans, as they took to Twitter to give their thoughts on the news of those links with Morelos.
Here, we take a look at what some of them had to say.
I'd rather we didn't, the blokes a liability with his temperament. Not only that he never scores in the big games, so a big concern on if he could make the step up to the prem.

I really hope not….. the mans a total bomb scare. He’s fine in the Scottish Prem’ but no way is he good enough at our level. 🙈🙈

Top player – has some issues with anger management but well worth it

Just the sort of player we need to spearhead a premiership attack

Seeing a few comments on Morelos’ temperament here. Don’t forget Perieira was a “trouble maker” for Sporting hence why they wanted rid of him. If I trust anyone to manage him correctly it’s Slaven!
