Aston Villa should make a move for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, according to former forward Gabby Agbonlahor.

The ex-Villa star’s comments have emerged on social media, with several Villa supporters now giving their thoughts on a potential deal for the Colombian.

Rangers’ £35m Morelos price tag

Morelos, who has netted 92 times for Rangers in 175 appearances, is thought to be keen on a move to the Premier League.

Villa were linked with a move for the 24-year-old in January 2020 and again in the summer. Rangers’ asking price was £35m prior to the current campaign, however, Villa decided to sign Ollie Watkins from Brentford in a club-record deal.

Agbonlahor, talking exclusively to Football Insider, cited by the Birmingham Mail, had his say on Morelos, admitting he would love to see the Rangers man in the Midlands.

 “I would love to see him at Aston Villa.

“I think he’s a great striker. Apart from the top four, five, all the other clubs would have him.

“He’s quite quick, he’s a finisher, he’s aggressive, he works hard and he’d add a lot to all of those clubs.”

Villa fans react

Agbonlahor’s comments were shared on Twitter by @AVFC_News on Thursday lunchtime.

This is what these Villa fans had to say over a possible move, with one describing him as a ‘loose cannon’.

"Absolutely not. Good player, but his temperament makes him a complete liability. Every time I see him play he either gets sent off or is lucky not to."
