The 22-year-old has scored three goals in two matches since returning from suspension, taking his tally to 20 in 34 for the season.
But he expects bids for his services in January and has talked up a move to England.
As reported by The Daily Record, the Colombia international said: “It’s very likely there are several teams looking at me and that there will be offers, but there is nothing concrete yet.
“My dream is to play in the English Premier League. It’s very similar to the football in Scotland.”

In an interview with BBC show ‘Off The Ball‘, the 23-year-old admitted he would like to return to the club where he spent just less than a year as a schoolboy.
When asked whether he had unfinished business, Shankland said: “Hope so! I used to go and watch them when I was younger.
“It’s one of them ones: if it’s an option and you’re from Scotland, it’s one you can’t easily turn down.”
Shankland’s form has caught the eye this season as he has scored 28 goals in 25 games for the Scottish Championship side.
