The transfer links with Maja come at the same time that one of Steven Gerrard’s current strikers is being linked with a move away from Ibrox. [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11788/12036464/alfredo-morelos-rangers-striker-agrees-to-join-lille) have claimed that Alfredo Morelos, the club’s [top scorer last season with 29 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/glasgow-rangers/leistungsdaten/verein/124), has agreed personal terms with Lille, who are now trying to negotiate a fee for the 24-year-old.
