The report also adds that Colombian is in the wish list of the Turkish club alongside Metz ace Habib Diallo, Copenhagen forward Robert Skov and DC United star Luciano Acosta. (h/t CNN Turk)

The 22-year-old has been in red hot form this season in the Scottish top flight. He has netted 29 goals so far across all competitions for the Light Blues and his latest one came against Kilmarnock.

Furthermore, Morelos earned his international call-up for the matches against Japan and South Korea that are to be played later this month.

The Colombian manager heaped praises on the young sensation by labelling him the future of Colombian football.

On the downside, the striker owns a ridiculous record for his misconduct on the field. Ha has received four red cards and a three-match suspension thus far.

The former HJK Split player earlier expressed his interest in leaving the club and to step up for new challenges. Not surprisingly, the striker was linked with big European clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt, Leicester City and even the Old Firm rivals Celtic.

Morelos soon broke all the transfer speculations by penning a contract extension till 2023.

The Light Blues affixed the price tag of £20 million dollars, same as the ex-Hoops star Moussa Dembele’s value. (h/t Team Talk)

The Gers are undergoing a tough month as they haven’t secured any win in their last four games.

The defeat against Aberdeen saw the Light Blues getting knocked out of the Scottish Cup. Following the game, Steven Gerrard accepted the sole responsibility for the loss.

Arsenal to announce Willian transfer soon

Arsenal have reportedly completed the signing of Willian Borges da Silva on a three-year contract worth £100,000-a-week according to Dailymail.

The Blues tried to hold down their star player but Willian wasn’t interested in a short deal given his age and found a better offer from the Gunners.

The 32-year old has been consistent for the Blues over the past few years and has displayed some serious performances ending his seven-year association with the club.

The Brazilian for Arsenal would give the club a different dimension to the game and add a great depth to their young squad.

When Arsenal do finally announce the signing it would mean they have beaten a host of clubs, including David Beckham’s new MLS franchise Inter Miami, Manchester United and several other clubs from Serie A. The player’s agent had earlier said that Willian had five different offers.

Willian might be the first of many signings as Arsenal are set for a busy summer as Mikel Arteta looks to reshape his squad ahead of a new season that brings in a lot of expectations from him.
