Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, 21, has revealed his desire to quite Rangers and join a Premier League side this summer.

The Colombian under-20 international joined the Gers from HJK Helsinki this summer, in a deal believed to be worth £1million (BBC) after scoring 46 goals in 62 appearances for the Finnish side.

His strong form has continued across the North Sea, where he has notched an impressive 12 goals in 25 games for the Ibrox side, carrying the majority of the scoring burden of the team himself in many games this term.

At 21, the youngster is no doubt a huge prospect and has already attracted interest from down south from the likes of Premier League promotion chasers Bristol City.

According to The Sun, in an interview with a Colombian TV show, Morelos said: “If you do things right, there’s always someone watching, I don’t know what will happen.

“I hope to keep doing very well and look for a bigger club, in the Premier League at the end of the season.”

This is bad news for Rangers fans who will have been hoping to keep the player for some time before moving on. However, the 21-year-old stressed that he is thoroughly enjoying his time in Glasgow.

“I am enjoying a very nice experience here in Scotland, I have been welcomed in the best possible way,” he added.

“I think I have done all right and I am happy with what I have achieved at Rangers so far. I am also very happy here.

“It wasn’t easy to adapt to life here, but the atmosphere during games is terrific. I’m at one of the largest clubs in Scotland. The fans are crazy both in and out of the stadiums!

“My dream is to play for Colombia. I think I am young enough with a big future ahead of me. Hopefully, the opportunity will come for me if I keep scoring goals.”
