West Ham and Leicester City are both interested in signing Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, according to reports in the English media.
Hammers boss David Moyes is said to be looking to reinforce his options up front, and he has identified the Colombian international as a potential target.
Some supporters on Twitter think a move for Morelos would be a good idea:
I think he would be a great signing

Morelos has been in superb form for Rangers this campaign, having scored 29 goals in 46 appearances for the Scottish club, but he is unproven in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old also has disciplinary issues which could be a concern, although it must be said that he is picked up far fewer bookings and red cards this season.
With Rangers also not in the best position financially, with football fixtures suspended during the ongoing health crisis, West Ham could take advantage of the situation. It remains to be seen whether they will make a move for the Colombian when the transfer window reopens.
