Rangers and Gerrard have ‘broken their teeth’ on club’s asking price for forward – More competition has appeared

Signed from FK Riteriai in Lithuania back in January, Terem Moffi only had a very short amount of time to impress at KV Kortrijk, and that he did.

Scoring four goals in seven games in the Jupiler Pro League, the 21-year-old caught the eye of many clubs around Europe, including Rangers, who, led by Steven Gerrard, could be on the lookout for offensive reinforcement in the near future.

The rumours surrounding a potential Alfredo Morelos exit from Ibrox this summer continue to swirl, and even if the Colombian does stay, extra firepower never hurt anyone.

It was reported in June that Rangers would face competition for the Nigerian, and more has emerged since.

As well as Galatasaray, both Brest and AS Saint-Étienne have turned their attention to Moffi to bolster their attack, but every club interested so far have ‘broken their teeth’ on Kortrijk’s asking price of €5m.

That’s what Het Laatste Nieuws are reporting in Belgium on Wednesday, and it shows just how difficult this upcoming market is going to be, with clubs aware of other’s situations and that replacing their own players will be difficult.

Hence the large asking price for a player who cost just €350k seven months ago.
