West Ham and Leicester are reported to be eyeing Rangers’ striker Alfredo Morelos.
We have been linked with the front man in the past but with the Hammers desperate for a second front man, he could well be a realistic option once the window opens.
He has been widely reported as an option and there was definite interest from the Hammers last summer but a well placed source told us a serous decision won’t be made until later.
Morales managed 29 goals in all competitions, his highest goal tally since joining the club in 2017.
However, he is a volcanic character and although he has improved on a poor disciplinary record this season has still been sent off on a couple of occasions.
The Hammers have also been linked with ex-Sunderland forward Josh Maja who is currently plying his trade at Bordeaux and David Moyes will inevitable looking at his favourite hunting ground – the Championship..
I know we love a maverick at West Ham but I’d rather see the money spent on Ollie Watkins or test Real’s hand and try to pinch Jovic.
Morelos is a player that will get us goals, he is temperamental, likely to get sent off at least a couple of times a season but so many of the great players share that fire. Although would love to have a player like Jovic I can’t see that happening but Morelos with his baggage has all the ingredients to be a fan favourite and cult figure for us.
If we could sign this guy I would be very happy a natural goal scorer
