Rangers fans are not especially keen on the thought of signing Hearts striker Uche Ikpeazu after watching him in action during this weekend’s Edinburgh derby.
The recruitment team at Ibrox are reported to be keen on adding him to Steven Gerrard’s first-team squad this summer, battling Celtic for his signature, which could cost as much as £1m.
However, many supporters feel he doesn’t have the quality to compete for places in Gerrard’s side, never mind provide an improvement on players like Alfredo Morelos.
Possessing plenty of power and having shown glimpses of decent finishing ability, the consensus seems to be he doesn’t have the skill and ball playing ability to be a success at Ibrox.
Now the transfer reports are out, fans will be watching his progress at Tynecastle closely, although he failed to impress many during the weekend’s derby against Hibernian, which Hearts lost 2-1.
These fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on signing the 24-year-old…
Agreed he will easily score 3 goals a season

If you genuinely think that we should replace our 29 goal striker with Hearts 6 goal striker then we may as well just padlock the gates of ibrox and forget about football

Morelos has scored more in his 2 seasons than Uche has in his career

May aswell sign Main from Motherwell, 2 units. Just as pish infront of goal as each other

Not at the level we need. How many goals he got this year? Big powerful unit, but he’s nowhere near good enough to play for us. Plus I hate seeing us punt high balls all day, he’s no real movement so it would be route 1 all day.

He’s a unit, but lacks the pace

He doesn’t score enough for me, the boy is a unit to be fair though

How many goals has he scored this season? I’ll give you a clue its less that Defoe, Arfield and 1 more than Middleton has pic.twitter.com/3A9pHmrCEn
