# Rangers: Bent urges new deal for Connor Goldson

**Darren Bent has urged Glasgow Rangers to tie Connor Goldson down to a new contract as soon as possible.**

### **New Goldson deal needed**

Goldson currently has [18](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-goldson/profil/spieler/163656) months left on his current contract, and it is being reported that a number of clubs will be [interested in his services](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/rangers-gers-ibrox-connor-goldson-ross-wilson-new-contract/) in January. [West Ham and Leeds United](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-update-on-leeds-west-ham-plots-to-sign-rangers-colossus-valued-at-6m/) were amongst the teams in pursuit during the summer.

As such, Rangers are believed to be looking to offer him a new contract. [Speaking to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/get-it-done-exclusive-rangers-told-to-seal-big-money-deal-after-ibrox-reveal/), Bent says this is a must for the 54-time Scottish champions. He proclaimed:

> *“It’s something they’ve got to get done quickly.*
>
> *“I don’t know what it is about football clubs at the minute but they’re allowing their best players to get to their final year.*
>
> *“I always think to myself, ‘don’t let your best players get to their final year’.*
>
> *“He’s done really well for them so just get it done.*
>
> *“I know clubs want to save money here and there but you can’t allow players to walk away for nothing.*
>
> *“If they’re an integral part of your team don’t let them walk away.”*

### **Gerrard can’t lose him**

Goldson has been an ever-present for the Ibrox outfit so far this campaign – he has played in every one of their 20 games in all competitions, [only one of three players](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/glasgow-rangers/leistungsdaten/verein/124) to do so. With him at the heart of their defence, the Gers have conceded just [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-goldson/leistungsdaten/spieler/163656) goals – three of which came in one game against Benfica.

Rated at [£6m+ by Rangers](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-update-on-leeds-west-ham-plots-to-sign-rangers-colossus-valued-at-6m/), he is a player that Steven Gerrard cannot afford to lose during this vital campaign. In January, it would be almost impossible to replace him. A new deal, you think, would warn off any other teams making a move for him or at least give Rangers the ability to reject a big offer.
