Rangers have continued their busy transfer activity by moving for Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos from Finnish side HJK Helsinki.

The 20-year-old's agent has confirmed that the clubs have agreed a deal with Rangers now waiting on a work permit.

The Colombia youth international has scored 46 goals in 62 appearances for HJK.

Morelos' agent Jonne Lindblom told the Daily Record: "We are in talks with Rangers and the two clubs have agreed a fee. It is now only a matter of getting a work permit sorted out.

"This is one of the biggest clubs in Europe so he is very excited about the possibility. Yes, Rangers have been struggling for some time but the club is now moving again in the right direction and we believe it is the ideal choice for the player.''

Rangers are also hoping to secure work permits for Mexican pair Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera.

Manager Pedro Caixinha has completed four signings so far - former Aberdeen skipper Ryan Jack and Portuguese trio Bruno Alves, Fabio Cardoso and Dalcio.
