A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans cannot believe that a report in Football Insider has linked them with a move for Rangers star Alfredo Morelos.
The report claims that sources from Ibrox have told them that Spurs are keen on the 23-year-old as they see him as someone who can provide cover and competition for Harry Kane.
Would Morelos be a good signing for Spurs?
Yes, he has a great goalscoring record
No, Spurs can do better
Morelos is in superb form this season, scoring 28 goals in all competitions, and his form is thought to have attracted the attention of Inter Milan.
However, these Tottenham fans do not want Morelos.

His disciplinary record makes Palacios seem like an Angel, and that’s in Scotland.. would be lucky to get 90mins out of him before a red

Absolutely not! Shocking attitude, terrible discipline and scores goals against teams who are basically league 1 quality. Has never scored against Celtic. Loses his rag constantly. It’s a huge NO from me.

No,please. Dude is totally insane.

As a finisher goals, he’ll do wonders, but I fear he’ll get bullied in the elp and lose his head most games

He can join Sonny in the stands every other week. Shocking disciplinary record ??

He may or may not be a good ST but he gets sent off way too often we don’t need another hot headed player

Wow, him plus Son and Aurier. We going for the “Highest number of red cards” trophy now?

Great! A player who loses his head too often hence see’s more red cards than any player I’ve seen.

What do we think?
The 23-year-old, who is valued at £6.75m by Transfermarkt, has proved himself to be an excellent goalscorer in Scotland, but he has some serious issues with his discipline having received six red cards in the past two seasons.
Tottenham are desperate for a striker as they currently have no first-team forward available due to a season-ending injury suffered by Kane.
However, Morelos has not proved that he can score in one of Europe’s top leagues, and his aggression has seen him miss ten games due to suspension.
Can Spurs really pin their hopes of Champions League qualification on Morelos?
