Alfredo Morelos urged to quit Rangers as former striker makes Newcastle United transfer prediction

Former Colombia striker Hugo Rodallega has urged Alfredo Morelos to quit Rangers and sign for Newcastle United.

The Ibrox star has been linked with a string of clubs in England, France and Spain over the past year.

Former Fulham and Wigan star Rodallega - who was signed by current Newcastle boss Steve Bruce when he was manager at the Lancashire club - has told Morelos he should leave Rangers and move to St James' Park.

And the 45-times capped striker thinks working with Bruce would be perfect for Morelos, predicting his countryman would be a roaring success at the club.

He said: "Alfredo is still a young man and he must take advantage of his situation. He is in a great position in his career because he scored many goals and many clubs will want to sign him.

"He has the confidence and ability to play in the English Premier League. He must be clear and tell his current club that he wants to go there.

"He has to leave Scottish football and move to a bigger league. Either England or Spain.

"Alfredo has shown what he can do in Scotland. He's proved himself there and showed what a good player he is. Now it's time for him to go to a league that is more demanding.

"If he gets the chance to work with Steve Bruce - someone I know very well - I know he would enjoy that because Bruce is a coach who gives his strikers a lot of confidence.

"That would be perfect for Alfredo."
