Sevco fans have reacted with fury to Alfredo Morelos retweeting a story linking him to joining Beskitas.

During January and February there was excited talk on social media about whether the 18 goal striker should be sold for £11m or whether he would be worth more at the end of the season.

That stemmed from a bizarre claim that an unknown club in China was ready to splash out an £11m transfer fee for Morelos plus the £11m tax on foreign imports. It’s believed that Besiktas are only interested in a season long loan deal.

Before his famous miss at home to Celtic in March Morelos was given a new improved Sevco contract to compensate for missing out on his dream move to China.

Morelos spent the last part of the season alternating with Jason Cummings as Sevco limped in to finish the season in third place.

Steven Gerrard officially starts his new job on Monday with the fate of the Colombian striker one of the many issues that he has to deal with.

Central defence and the striking positions are badly in need of strengthening while Mark Allen is tasked with the job of finding clubs prepared to take Eduardo Herrera, Carlos Pena and Bruno Alves off the payroll.
