These Newcastle United fans want the Magpies to sign Rangers star man Alfredo Morelos this January.
Morelos can’t stop scoring this season, having managed to hit the back of the net 12 times in 18 Scottish Premiership games so far. However, the Colombian’s scoring isn’t just limited to the Scottish league, with the 23-year-old scoring eight goals in eight UEFA Europa League qualifying matches and six UEFA Europa League group stages goals in six games.
The Chronicle Live article had quoted the Daily Star report which stated this about Steve Bruce: “He fancies Rangers’ prolific Alfredo Morelos and Jarrod Bowen from former club Hull but has so far received no encouragement on either front.”
This was then relayed to these Newcastle United fans on Twitter, via The Chronicle’s official account:

Would you like to see Alfredo Morelos join Newcastle United?
Yes, he's brilliant!
No, he's overrated!
Morelos has only started 58% of Rangers Scottish Premiership matches, however, he has started every single Europa League group stage match.
Me too! We need an animal!

What Do We Think?
There’s no doubting that Morelos can clearly score goals, as you don’t get 12 in your domestic league by chance. The 23-year-old has had two-second yellows in the Scottish Premiership this season, but don’t let that trick you into thinking this striker is a hot-head.
The Colombian has an awful reputation despite only ever receiving three straight reds in his whole career, leaving us feeling that he gets very unfairly judged and should not be considered as some sort of liability.
