West Brom’s £10m+ bid for 30-goal striker rejected ahead of deadline day

According to a report from the Daily Record, Championship side West Brom have had a bid of over £10 million rejected by Scottish Premiership outfit Rangers for star striker Alfredo Morelos, as Slaven Bilic looks to bring in a new striker before the window closes at 5 pm tonight.

Over the course of the summer transfer window, West Brom manager Slaven Bilic has been fighting to reinforce his squad before embarking on the Championship season, with a striker at the top of his shopping list. The likes of Albian Ajeti and Scott Hogan have all been linked, but now it has emerged that the Baggies have made an offer for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.

Morelos’ future at Rangers has been surrounded by question marks this summer. The Colombian’s temper on the pitch got him suspended three separate times last season alone and the Gers had been linked with strikers such as Kemar Roofe. However, the club look set to fight off late interest in their star striker, with West Brom keen.

Morelos scored 30 goals in 48 games across all competitions last season and despite his temper, he has been a crucial asset to the club since joining back in 2017. In total. the 23-year-old has scored 52 goals and provided 19 assists in his 95 appearances for the club. He joined from HJK Helsinki, where he had enjoyed a prolific spell, netting 46 in 61 games.

With Albion determined to bring a new striker in today, it will be interesting to see if they lodge an increased bid for Morelos before the deadline or if Bilic continues to pursue other options.
