A number of Glasgow Rangers fans are begging for Alfredo Morelos to remain at Ibrox amid transfer speculation surrounding the 24-year-old.

Journalist Pipe Sierra tweeted (via @PipeSierraR) that Lille have submitted a bid in the region of €20m (£18.6m) for the Colombian striker, with the Ligue 1 club having reportedly agreed terms with the player over the summer.

Morelos has scored 82 goals in 145 appearances for the 'Gers, including 29 last season, and has begun the 2020/21 campaign with five goals in seven games despite lingering speculation over his future at the club.

His importance to the Ibrox cause has been amplified by recent injuries to fellow strikers Jermain Defoe, who only just returned in Sunday's draw at Hibernian, Cedric Itten and Kemar Roofe, who is set to miss the next few games. Greg Stewart, the other centre-forward in Steven Gerrard's squad, has scored only three times in 28 games for the club.

After news of Lille's bid for Morelos emerged, these 'Gers fans on Twitter are pleading for the club to retain the services of the "irreplaceable" 24-year-old:
