Alfredo Morelos admits Rangers transfer considerations as he offers racism backing to Tottenham defender

Alfredo Morelos has spoken out on the “ugly” racist abuse he’s received as he offered support to Davinson Sanchez.

The Rangers forward had the Tottenham defender’s back after he was racially abused on social media.

It comes after Glen Kamara opened up on the abuse he was subjected to by Slavia Prague’s Ondrej Kudela as UEFA banned the Czech for one match pretending further investigation into him and the Finnish midfielder.

Morelos was targeted online last month and had to endure an Aberdeen banner two years ago that had ‘your mother is a mattress’ printed on it in Spanish.

Despite that, El Bufalo insists he’s as happy as he’s ever been in Scotland but admits he’d weigh up any offers that could come in.

Speaking to Colobian TV channel Win Sports, he said: "They involved my mother, they made me banners in the stands, they did everything to me.

"Racism is something very ugly. I sent a message to Davinson."

"I feel very happy here. We have a target now - the Scottish Cup - and the team have done very well in both the league and in Europe.

"Now I want to keep scoring goals and getting assists.

"Steven Gerrard is a legend and a great person. I have had difficulties with him, but we have fixed it. He showed confidence in me and I have responded. We have a nice relationship.

"I feel happy in Scotland and I love representing my country too.

"When we won the league everything was crazy. People lived it to the fullest because it had been ten years without winning the League.

"It was something very nice because people came out and enjoyed it. I am very proud to get the title.

"I am happy at Rangers and I want to win the Cup with them. If opportunities come up for me, we will analyse them."
