Brendan Rodgers is interested in Morelos and Tavernier

Rangers News: Leicester City are eyeing up a move for Rangers duo Alfredo Morelos and James Tavernier.

Brendan Rodgers is poised for a great Premier League campaign as the new Leicester boss with his talented squad.

The Northern Irish manager has set his sight on the Gers duo alongside Celtic’s Kiernan Tierney, one of his former protégés.

Morelos, 22, has been on the transfer radar of a swarm of clubs while Tavernier is linked with a move to Aston Villa.

Both of them were pivotal for the Light Blues in the recently concluded season as they combined to involve them in more than 50 goals.

The Colombian striker ended up the Premiership’s top scorer while the full-back Tavernier was the league’s highest assists provider.

On the downside, Morelos has been the subject of sheer misconduct on the field despite garnering an impressive 29-goal tally. And he has received a total of 5 red cards and two suspension spells, which prevented his national call-up from the Colombian manager Carlos Queiroz.

The Gers would find it difficult to sort out the replacements if both the players opt out to move this summer.

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.
