Leon King has reportedly agreed a new long-term deal to remain at Rangers.

It's claimed the defender, 18, is set to put pen to paper on fresh terms to keep him at Ibrox until 2026.

His current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2024.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reports that King has agreed the new deal and is set to sign in the coming days.

And he claims King has decided to remain at Rangers despite interest from "many top Premier League clubs".

Romano reported: "Important update for Rangers FC.

"Been told Leon King has agreed new contract valid until June 2026, here we go.

"#RangersFC Scottish top talented centre back is on the list of many top Premier League clubs — new deal in place, to be signed in the next days."

King played from the start in Michael Beale's first match in charge of Rangers against Bayer Leverkusen in a friendly.

The starlet has been thrust into first-team duty this season with the Rangers defensive pool hammered by injury problems.

However, Beale confirmed Connor Goldson and Ben Davies could make their injury comebacks against Hibs when domestic action resumes on Thursday night.

It comes after King revealed he has no recollection of the match against St Mirren after suffering a concussion.

The defender was involved in a collision with Buddies striker Curtis Main and was stretchered off in the 1-1 draw in Paisley.

And he admitted he can't remember the injury blow and only knows what happened after watching a replay.

"No, I don’t remember," said King when asked about the concussion. "From half time until it happened I’ve got no recollection of what happened.

"I only know what happened because I saw it back."
