Alfredo Morelos has been told to shut up about a move away from Rangers after a summer of speculation.
El Bufalo has been linked with moves to the likes of FC Porto and Lille in recent times but stuck around at Ibrox beyond the window.
But now former England and Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips has urged the Colombian to stop talking about a move and get himself fully focused on the job at hand as a Gers player.
Morelos spoke with a radio channel in his homeland recently and admitted he hopes to be able to leave the club soon.
Yet Phillips has warned him he's only making things more difficult for himself in the eyes of the Light Blues fanbase.
Speaking to Football Insider: "He's just making life more difficult for himself.
"He has to live in that area and we all know what supporters are like. He’ll get away with it if he comes back and scores goals.
“People will turn a blind eye but if he stops scoring and doesn’t look interested, you just leave yourself open.
“Keep your mouth shut and do your job. He needs people around him who will tell him to stop talking and to not answer those questions.
“Just be positive about Rangers and don’t talk about transfers in public.
“I said at the beginning of the season it would be best for him to move on, I can’t imagine this will go down well with the supporters.
“They will let him know how they feel."
