Everton are being linked with a move for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos as their search for a new goalscorer continues.
The Blues are reportedly joined by fellow Premier League sides Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Wolves in holding an interest in the Colombian. Palace, however, are thought to be leading the race at this point, according to TEAMtalk..
Morelos would not cost a transfer fee for any of those sides as his contract at Rangers is set to expire in the summer - making him a free agent.

The 26-year-old has scored nine times and registered six assists in 27 appearances in the Scottish Premiership this season. He has managed an impressive 122 goals in 263 appearances during his Rangers career.
TEAMtalk say Everton are "waiting in the wings" for Morelos, who is also said to be attracting interest from promotion-pushing Burnley and Middlesbrough, as well as La Liga outfits Sevilla and Villarreal. But they believe Palace are the club who are ready to make an offer.
