Gerrard confirms Balogun close to triggering Rangers contract extension

 

The Super Eagles centre-back is expected to remain at Ibrox Stadium beyond this season after impressing in his debut campaign

Steven Gerrard is keen on keeping Leon Balogun at Rangers for next season after confirming that the Nigeria international is close to triggering an extension in his contract.

Balogun has established himself in the Gers’ defensive set-up since he moved to Glasgow on a short-term deal from Wigan Athletic in July.

His defensive contributions have helped Rangers remain unbeaten in the Premiership this campaign with a 20-point lead at the top of the table.
