As announced on Rangers’ official website in January 2020, the former Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United striker signed a pre-contract with the Gers to move to the Ibrox club on a permanent basis after his loan deal from Bournemouth ends.
It was announced on the Gers’ official website that Defoe will stay at Rangers until the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
The 37-year-old Englishman has outlined his plan for the future, and has said that he hopes to stay at Ibrox beyond next summer.
The Daily Record quotes Defoe as saying about his future at Rangers: “I’ve got another year at Rangers, I’ve got next season and then we’ll see what happens.
“If next season I score 15 or 20 goals then I want another season and we’ll see what happens.”
