Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is a target for West Ham. According to The Daily Record, West Ham and Crystal Palace both hold a ‘tentative interest’ in Morelos.

There are clear pros and cons to this signing and this is reflected when scouring through fan opinion on Twitter. Some want him and some want to avoid him at all costs.

The 23-year-old is an undoubted goalscorer. With 49 goals in 92 games for Rangers, it is clear the young striker knows where the net is. He scored 30 in all competitions last season and has already opened his account for this term.

Here are some tweets from West Ham fans who WANT to bring Morelos to East London.

But he comes with baggage. The Colombian striker is hot-headed and often loses his temper on the pitch. He received a staggering five red cards last season, including one for lashing out at Celtic skipper Scott Brown in a high-stakes Old Firm derby clash.

Manuel Pellegrini is reportedly sceptical about Mario Balotelli for these reasons so it would be strange if West Ham went for Morelos instead. But with Marko Arnautovic gone, perhaps he will take a gamble on this maverick talent.

Here are some tweets from West Ham fans who DO NOT want Morelos at The London Stadium.
