Five players Tottenham should buy for next season
By Gary Pearson
2. Alfredo Morelos — Rangers
Alfredo Morelos is an untapped resource on the world’s biggest stages. Currently plying his trade for Rangers in the Scottish Premier League, the Colombian has a knack for being in the right spot at the right time. A Johnny on the spot striker, Morelos has scored 12 goals in 18 starts this season. He is still quite raw, but has a lot of potential and is still only 23 years of age.
And Spurs can have him for a reasonable rate of about £15 million. Transfermarkt currently has him pegged at about £12 million. As a second string striker, he’s definitely worth the relatively small financial risk.
Other affordable strikers on Spurs radar include Southampton’s Danny Ings, Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud, among others. In terms of strikers, everything depends on Harry Kane. The Englishman has made it clear that Spurs need to match his ambition to retain his services. If he leaves, Tottenham will be in the market for bigger names whose market prices will invariably be astronomically higher than the likes of Morelos.
