Premier League Transfer Rumours: Morelos, Ramsay, Lukaku
Newcastle United Line-up ‘Urgent’ Move for Rangers Striker Morelos
Several clubs are keeping an eye on Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, according to a report by CBS.
The talented striker has been touted as on the cusp of a £20 million move south of Hadrian’s Wall with a number of Premier League clubs said to be interested.
The American news outlet claim that Morelos is an “urgent” target for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United as he looks to deal with injuries to Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin.
Everton and Leicester City, meanwhile, will provide competition with the Premier League rivals also said to be monitoring the situation.
Leicester City Scout Watches Aberdeen Defender
A Leicester City scout was sent to watch Aberdeen defender Calvin Ramsay, according to Sky Sports (live blog, 17:28).
The 18-year-old is reported to be a transfer target for several European and Premier League sides, including the Foxes, Frankfurt and Bologna.
Sky Sports say that one of Brendan Rodgers’ scouts watched Ramsay on Boxing Day in the Dons’ 2-1 win over Dundee.
The Foxes will be forced to part with a chunk of cash, however, with Aberdeen reported to be seeking a club-record fee – currently £3m – for their talented defender.
