Former Aston Villa star says he ‘would love to see’ 15-goal attacker join Dean Smith’s side – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has revealed that he would love to see Alfredo Morelos join Aston Villa this summer.
The 24-year-old Colombian striker has been linked with a move away from Rangers and it will be interesting to see if he can secure a move to the Premier League.
As per Football Insider, the striker dreams of playing for a Premier League club and Agbonlahor believes that most Premier League clubs would want to sign the Colombian.
Agbonlahor said: “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.”
Aston Villa signed Ollie Watkins from Brentford at the start of the season and the 25-year-old has been outstanding for the West Midlands club this season and he has 12 goals to his name so far.
However, Dean Smith could use more depth in the attacking department and signing another quality striker would be ideal before the start of the next season.
Morelos has an excellent goalscoring record at Rangers and he could be the ideal partner for Watkins. He has scored 92 goals in his 174 appearances for the Scottish club.
Apart from goalscoring, the Colombian helps create chances for his teammates and his hard-working style of play will help out Villa defensively as well.
The 24-year-old has already won the Scottish Premiership with Rangers and he has nothing left to prove in Scotland. Furthermore, he has excelled in the Europa League with the Scottish outfit as well.
The player could be tempted to take on a new challenge in his career now and a move to Aston Villa could be ideal for him.
Morelos has 15 goals and 12 assists to his name so far this season.
