Rangers have reached agreement over a £1million deal to sign HJK Helsinki striker Alfredo Morelos, according to the Scottish Sun.
The newspaper claimed on Friday morning that the Scottish giants have settled the terms of a seven-figure fee with Finnish club HJK for the 20-year-old forward.
The Scottish Sun report that the Colombia Under-20 international was recommended to Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha by his number three and former Finland international Jonatan Johansson.
Morelos will also need a work permit if he is to transfer to Scotland and the Scottish Sun report that Rangers don’t envisage any problems in one being granted by the authorities.
The Finnish top-flight is still ongoing as the league campaign runs from April to October and HJK are currently top of the table with Morelos playing a key part in their position.
The goal-a-game striker has netted a very impressive 12 goals in HJK’s 12 league matches this campaign and he has also provided five assists.
This comes after he ran riot last season when he netted 30 times in 43 matches, three of which came in the Europa League.
Now, if he does transfer to Rangers as it is looking likely fans will be hoping that he can adapt to life in Scotland and bring his goal scoring success with him.
Were the move to go ahead, it would signal the fifth transfer for the Gers this summer, as boss Caixinha looks to continue his squad overhaul ahead of next season.
In his first transfer window at the club, the manager has added Bruno Alves, Ryan Jack, Dalcio and Fabio Cardoso to his playing staff, and it seems that he is close to making Morelos his latest addition.
