# Rangers: Gerrard pleads for new Glen Kamara deal

**Steven Gerrard has urged the Glasgow Rangers board to tie Glen Kamara down to a new contract as soon as possible following his display against Lech Poznan in the Europa League.**

### **Gerrard wants new Kamara deal**

The Gers defeated the Polish outfit thanks to goals from Cedric Itten and Ianis Hagi. Kamara was in impressive form in the middle of the park, completing [three](https://www.sofascore.com/lech-poznan-rangers/bXswmb) of his four attempted dribbles and amassing a pass accuracy of 95%.

Gerrard praised the Finland international after the game, and he made it clear that he wants the 25-year-old to put pen to paper on a new deal. He [said](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6392336/gerrard-rangers-kamara-juventus-everton-leeds/):

> *“I thought Glen Kamara again showed why everybody is talking about him and there’s a lot of fuss about him.*
>
> *“I thought he was outstanding from start to finish and my advice to the club is to move that situation along as quickly as they can.*
>
> *“I think it is a huge achievement and it is thoroughly deserved.”*

### Important for the future

On paper, Kamara’s new deal does not look like a matter of urgency. His current commitment will run until [2023](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/glen-kamara/profil/spieler/242632), meaning that the Gers will have him for at least two more seasons after this one even if he does not sign a new contract.

However, there are other reasons why the situation is pressing. While it is not clear how much a new deal would be worth in terms of weekly wages, you would imagine it would include a pay increase. With Marseille linked with a move during the summer and France Football reporting he’d cost [€10m](https://www.francefootball.fr/news/Mercato-glen-kamara-glasgow-rangers-plait-a-l-om/1132857) (£9.2m), as well as interest from [the Premier League](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-benfica-join-everton-newcastle-chasing-rangers-star-glen-kamara), a higher pay packet could well entice Kamara to stick around for longer.

It also sends a statement to any club eyeing the Gers’ players. The Ibrox outfit will make it as hard as possible to sign any of their star performers, and that puts them in a far stronger position in the future.
