WEST BROM have reportedly joined the race to sign Alfredo Morelos - with Lille preparing to table a £17million bid.
Reports in France have suggested that Ligue 1 outfit Lille have already agreed personal terms with the Rangers striker, leaving them with just the small task of agreeing a fee with the Ibrox club.
The Daily Record now report that the French side will put forward an offer of £17m for the Colombian, but they could face a fight for his signature.
West Brom have now been credited with an interest in Morelos after their return to the Premier League.
The Baggies lacked goals last term and manager Slaven Bilic is keen to add the Rangers striker to eliminate those problems.
Morelos has scored 77 goals in 137 appearances during his time in Glasgow.
Steven Gerrard and director of football Ross Wilson have already pinpointed a number of attacking options if Morelos leaves this summer.
Among the list is Peterborough ace Ivan Toney, Livingston's Lyndon Dykes and Dundee United's Lawrence Shankland.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
