Sport:West Ham and Leicester on red alert for Rangers 29-goal striker Alfredo Morelos

WEST HAM and Leicester are on red alert to make a move for Rangers strike star Alfredo Morelos.

The fiery Colombian may have to be sold if the Glasgow giants cannot find new finance or sell other players to raise cash.

West Ham and Leicester are ready to make an offer for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos

The striker, 23, has hit 29 goals this season, his greatest tally in Scotland since his arrival in 2017, and also had less disciplinary problems than in previous years.

Rangers may have to listen if Foxes chief Brendan Rodgers or Irons boss David Moyes get serious, with City looking for competition for Jamie Vardy.

The Hammers need a forward and Morelos, 23, is the kind of maverick they love at the club.

Sebastien Haller, 25, has looked decent in patches since his club record £45million arrival at the London Stadium last summer.

But Albian Ajeti, 23 - who was brought in as backup in a £8m switch from FC Basel - does not look anywhere near Premier League standard so an upgrade would not go amiss.

Elsewhere, Declan Rice, 21, begged football chiefs not to rush players back because it would lead to a huge spate of injuries.

The England ace also said he does not miss the stress of playing in the East Londoners' relegation battle.

West Ham have also been linked with a move for ex-Sunderland forward Josh Maja while Leicester are looking at a deal to reunite Adam Lallana with his old manager Rodgers.
