Rangers look set to keep defender Leon King at Ibrox.
Rangers aren’t having a great spell at the moment, and fans will be desperate for any sort of positive news to raise spirits.
The Gers lost once again on Saturday by falling to a 1-0 defeat at Hearts, with their domestic form a real problem for boss Steven Gerrard.
European success against Braga hasn’t papered over the cracks at Ibrox, and fans are pretty fed up with the performances of established players.
Fans may now want to see some young players given a chance, with the likes of Nathan Patterson, Kai Kennedy and Dapo Mebude all knocking on the door.
Now, the Daily Record report that Rangers are set to tie down defender Leon King to a new contract, amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
The 16-year-old defender will pen a deal until 2022, signing his first professional contract whilst becoming one of the highest-paid youngsters in the club’s history.
King has been touted for a bright future, and with Rangers’ defence creaking of late, some want to see him given a chance in the first team as soon as he signs that deal.
Some believe that he deserves a chance if more experienced players aren’t going to perform, with others claiming that this is the best news in months, praising the club for ensuring he stays put.
