As per one of the recent reports put forth by The Sun, Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has been heavily linked with a move to Aston Villa. The Villans have had a mediocre start to their Championship campaign under the tutelage of Steve Bruce as they have collected 13 points from their first 9 league outings.
Being a team blessed with a well-constructed arsenal, Aston Villa should be faring in a more productive manner to enhance their chances of being promoted. There have been occasions of late when finding the back of the net proved to be a major headache for the Lions and no wonder why they have put someone like Morelos on their radar.
The Columbian striker has inked a smashing start to his life with the Gers, having banged 8 goals in 10 games and has earned positive reviews from the football fraternity. Morelos has started to prove his credentials and it isn’t really a surprise to see quality teams already lining up to make him sign on the dotted line.
The 21-year-old emerged through the youth setup of Independiente Medellin and was then elevated to their senior side. He was shipped out on loan to HJK and his impact therein prompted them to sign his permanently.
Eventually, he was roped into the Ibrox Stadium during this year’s summer transfer window in what proved to be an eventful transfer window for Rangers. From what we have seen in his relatively brief career, finding the back of the net hasn’t been an issue for him. But seeing him getting linked to Aston Villa could be a huge worry for Pedro Caixinha.
Morelos is a player of fine calibre who makes a perfect use of his speed, tenacity, power and strength to rattle the defence of the opposition. He is someone who constantly keeps vouching for goal scoring opportunities and creates ample amount of chances for his teammates as well.
The youngster toils very hard, particularly in the final third, is very good in the air, troubles the defenders with his crisp passes and astute movements on and off the ball and also offers incredible persistence which makes him an appealing commodity for any top quality side.
The Light Blues have been able to carve a sharp attacking tooth up front, thanks to the manner in which Morelos has fitted into Caixinha’s tactical nous. Caixinha is chiselling a revolution at Rangers and it would be absolutely foolish from their side to let Morelos leave in the near future.
