# Villa interested in signing Rangers star Alfredo Morelos

Aston Villa are [reportedly](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/rangers-ace-alfredo-morelos-wanted-11198742) one of the clubs interested in signing Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.

The Colombian has been in amazing form all season and has taken to life at Rangers like a duck to water after his summer move from HJK Helsinki.

The 21-year-old has already scored eight goals in 10 games and he’ll be looking to add to his tally when Rangers face off against their fierce rivals Celtic this weekend.

According to reports, Barnsley, Bristol City, Derby County and Reading are also keeping a close eye on Morelos, with views to possibly looking to bring him to England as soon as January.

Rangers will be hoping to keep their new hot-shot and are likely to reject any winter bids but a move in the summer is certainly a possibility.

However, if Morelos continues to play at the level that he currently is, it would not be a surprise to see some Premier League sides come calling for him.
