Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos speaks out amid reports of Lille talks

Alfredo Morelos has spoken out amid reports linking him with a move to Lille.

The Ligue 1 club's owner was tonight reported to have confirmed his club's interest, with claims made on Sunday that personal terms had been agreed between the player and the club.

Morelos has been linked with a host of clubs in recent months, including Everton, Napoli and Lazio.

The 24-year-old has now addressed the speculation.

Speaking to Win Sports, he said: “There is a lot of speculation in the press about my transfer to another team but there is still nothing concrete about my departure from Rangers.

“There are clubs that have spoken, but formally there is no agreement. I will take the decision and I hope it will work out for the best if I decide to go to a more competitive league.

“If they make me choose between the European leagues, I like them all, it’s up to me to make a decision. Now I am waiting because there is nothing concrete, it will be known when it is fixed.

"For now I am focused on what is being done here and preparing well for the league, waiting for everything to happen from the hand of God.

“The Rangers fans love me too much because I have done things well and love the shirt. They have supported me through thick and thin, I did positive things for my career and my family. I don't pay attention to the negative that people say about me.”

On his manager Steven Gerrard, Morelos said: "He is an excellent person, a legend and as a coach he has accomplished important things in the team. We have a nice friendship that supports me too much, although we don't speak much because of the language.

"He has me as the first striker and that is important. I have not talked to him about leaving, he will know if any club is interested in me, for now I have to talk about the goals I make."
