# Rangers: Phillips urges Gers to sign Jonson Clarke-Harris

**Kevin Phillips believes Jonson Clarke-Harris would be a good signing for Glasgow Rangers as he offers something Alfredo Morelos doesn’t.**

### **Phillips urges Clarke-Harris move**

The Gers have recently been [linked with a move for Clarke-Harris](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-rangers-set-sights-on-signing-clarke-harris-after-transfer-mission/), while Morelos revealed not too long ago that he is eager to move to the Premier League ([Radio Caracol](https://caracol.com.co/programa/2021/03/12/el_vbar/1615582064_331526.html)).

[Speaking to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/kevin-phillips-verdict-on-rangers-potentially-signing-phenomenal-clarke-harris-after-key-update/), Phillips has urged the Gers to move for the Peterborough striker as he offers something Morelos doesn’t. He said:

> *“He’s \[Clarke-Harris\] been phenomenal this season.*
>
> *“If Morelos is to move on, him coming in gives you that different style, a plan B to have up your sleeve.*
>
> *“He’s decent on the ground, he could certainly do some things better at times but he’s scoring goals.*
>
> *“He gets in good positions. He gives you that added advantage that Morelos doesn’t give you in that you can whip balls into the box.*
>
> *“He’s a big lad so he can get on the end of crosses and that just gives you a different option.”*

### **Goals the most important**

There is a slight height difference between the two – Morelos stands at 5 foot 9, while Clarke-Harris is taller at 6 foot. He is also slightly stronger, which does suggest the Ibrox outfit would be able to use him in a different way than Morelos.

However, they already have Cedric Itten, who is 6 foot 2, so a bigger striker is not the reason why Clarke-Harris should be signed. This term, he has 28 goals for Posh in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonson-clarke-harris/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/158631)) as they sit second in League One – he knows where the back of the net is. If Morelos leaves, he could well be a fantastic signing for a number of reasons.
