Gabby Agbonlahor has insisted Aston Villa should not move for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos this summer as he is not Premier League quality.
The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed the 26-year-old has “problems” with his fitness and temper – making him unsuitable for Unai Emery’s side.
According to Turkish outlet Takvim (29 March), Aston Villa are set to do battle with Galatasaray for Rangers star Morelos this summer as his contract comes to an end.
Football Insider revealed on Tuesday (28 March) that the Gers are yet to offer him a new deal despite holding talks over his future at Ibrox.
Morelos has notched 10 goals and seven assists in 38 games across all competitions this term – 17 of which have come as a starter.
Aston Villa could launch a move for a new striker in the summer window after selling Danny Ings to West Ham in January.
When asked if Morelos could be the answer, Agbonlahor told Football Insiderās Ewan Kingsbury: āNot for me.
āHeās got his fitness problems, heās got problems with his temper ā you hear whispers from Rangers.
āI just donāt see him as a Premier League player. I donāt see him starting in this Villa side, I canāt see him being a good option off the bench.
āHeās just not quick enough for this league. Itās a complete non-starter.
āEmery is a clever manager ā he knows the right type of player to bring in. I canāt see him getting on with Morelos.
āHeās not going to get Villa into the top seven.”
