Rangers teen sensation Leon King praised by ex-Liverpool, Southampton and Arsenal star

Glasgow Rangers youngster Leon King has been widely praised, with fans and pundits alike tipping the teenager to be a future star at Ibrox. One former Premier League star has now lauded the defender, calling him one of the best young players he's seen.

Former Arsenal, Southampton and Liverpool defender Jose Enrique recently heaped praise on King, who has broken into the Rangers first-team this season and established himself as a regular starter.

"Leon King is one of the best young players I've seen," Enrique said on Twitter. "He's got everything: pace, strength, composure on the ball and he's a great reader of the game. He's only 18, so he's still got a lot of learning to do, but he's definitely one to watch for the future."

King has made 17 appearances for Rangers this season, including 11 starts. He's also scored one goal and provided one assist.

The teenager has impressed with his performances and he's now a key member of the Rangers team. He's also a Scotland Under-21 international and he's expected to make his full debut for the national team soon.

King's performances have also caught the attention of other clubs, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea all reportedly interested in signing him.

However, Rangers are determined to keep hold of their prized asset and they're reportedly prepared to offer him a new contract.

King's future looks very bright, and he's expected to be a key player for Rangers for many years to come.

Here are some of the other things that Enrique said about King:

• "He's a complete defender. He's got everything you need to be a top player."
• "He's a natural leader and he's always talking to his teammates on the pitch."
• "He's a great example for other young players and he shows that anything is possible if you work hard and believe in yourself."
