Alfredo Morelos has Watford transfer 'interest' but various Saudi options could tempt former Rangers star to Middle East

Alfredo Morelos is claimed to be mulling over transfer options in Saudi Arabia - but it may be the English Championship where the Rangers hero goes next.

During six seasons in Scotland, the Colombian international scored 124 goals in 169 appearances for the Premiership side but left this summer as a free agent after a disappointing 2022/23 term. Rumours have raged on over where he could next, from outlandish suggestions such as Azerbaijan and Spanish sunshine with Granada all mentioned.

The Athletic now claim that Morelos is wanted by Watford, who will be seeking a return to the Premier League they were relegated from two years ago. They state the 26-year-old 'is considering a move to the Championship side' but 'is also reviewing various options from Saudi Arabia.' Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has already gone to the middle-east this summer alongside a host of other stars while current Ibrox forward Fashion Sakala has rejected a move.

It's believed the Hornets 'want to bring in a forward and are currently reviewing their options before making a final decision.' Morelos has previously stated his intention to remain in Europe.
