Carlos Pena has told Rangers’ official website that he would love to earn a contract extension at Ibrox despite only completing his permanent switch to the club this week.
Pena has become one of the Gers’ latest signings, arriving in the Scottish Premiership alongside Eduardo Herrera to take the Light Blues’ number of summer signings up to eight, after agreeing a three-year deal (via club’s official website).
But despite not yet having a chance to take to the pitch for his new side, Pena has set his sights on extending his stay beyond the length of his current contract.
“I hope to be able to have a good start to the season and to be 100% physically so I can achieve a good level, which I think is what everyone wants,” he told the club’s official website.
“I hope to achieve many things but I am a player that likes to do things step by step. I like different challenges and I don’t like settling for anything less, so I hope I can become part of the club’s history one day and that the initial three-year contract can be extended!”
Rangers fans will be delighted with the midfielder’s comments as he has made it clear that he is not viewing his switch to Ibrox as a stepping stone and appears to feel that he can realise his ambitions while playing for the Gers.

And as the 27-year-old will be under absolutely no illusions regarding the level of expectations at Ibrox, he is seemingly backing himself to potentially make the kind of impact that will help the side meet their targets as that is surely the kind of form that will see him earn a new deal.
And if Pena’s determination to earn a new contract does translate to excellent performances out on the pitch, there is no reason why his displays cannot inspire those around him to raise their game also.
