Alfredo Morelos backed for Everton transfer amid Rangers exit

Rangers star Alfredo Morelos would be a good fit for Everton.

That's the viewpoint of ex-Toffees attacker Kevin Campbell.

Michael Beale confirmed on Sunday that the striker would be leaving Ibrox this summer.

And with the out-of-contract player soon to be a free agent, Campbell reckons his former side could do much worse than sign the Colombian.

The 26-year-old is a proven goalscorer in Europe and has, over the piece of his time in Glasgow, been a constant threat up top domestically too.

And Campbell insists his "edge" is what fans at Goodison want to see.

Speaking to Goodison News he said: “I think Morelos is a good player, he’s got the type of game that the Goodison crowd would like. There’s an edge to him.

“The key is, can you create opportunities for him? If you can then he looks like he could take chances. That one might be a little bit more of a long shot, but for someone like him, it’s going to be difficult to just go anywhere.

“That might be a smart shout, to be honest, it might just be a smart shout because he likes to prove himself and he’s got that edge.”

Beale confirmed on Sunday that Morelos would be leaving the club.

He said: “Morelos is moving on. I think you saw the difference in energy in the forward area when Morelos came on.

"And not in a positive way. We'll need a focal point to the team, for sure.

"Antonio (Colak) is not fit at the moment. Fashion (Sakala) and Rabbi (Matondo) gave us a different type of frontline today."
