Morelos targets titles with Gers
COLOMBIAN striker Alfredo Morelos arrived in Scotland with titles on his mind as he looks to complete his move t o Rangers.
The 20-year-old flew into Edinburgh airport before travelling to Glasgow for talks with the Ibrox club.
The HJK Helsinki forward, set to become Gers boss Pedro Caixinha’s sixth summer signing, wants to bring trophies to the Govan club if his move transpires.
Morelos said: “It’s going to be a wonderful experience to be here at Rangers, so I’ m really happy about it and also about fans welcoming me, sending me lots of support.
“I’ve been doing things right in the last few months and I come here to Rangers to contribute to the team, to the club and to win some titles which is really important for Rangers.
“I want to continue what I was doing for HJK Helsinki, scoring goals and to contribute t o t he team which is the most important thing. I’d like to send a special hug to all our supporters. I’ll see you soon.”
Morelos anticipates working with Gers boss Caixinha with some excitement and would like to join fellow Colombian striker Radamel Falcao in the senior national team.
The Colombia U/20 player said: “What I know (about Caixinha) is he was in Mexico, so it will be quite easy for me to work with him, to speak with him as I know he speaks Spanish. That will make it easier for me to adapt quickly.
“Falcao is an amazing player. Falcao is scoring for the national team, for Monaco — he’s an amazing person as well, humble. I hope I can play with him in the national team soon.
“I’m very young, I’m 20 years old so I just hope I can continue making progress here, scoring lots of goals, so I can be selected for my national team and play with Falcao.”
