Former Rangers crock Filip Helander has been offered a new contract by Danish club Odense, just months after he feared for his career.
And Odense football director Bjorn Wesstrom has revealed that if he accepts, he will offer him a five-year contract.
The Swedish international left Rangers on a free transfer in the summer after missing almost all of the previous two seasons due to injury, including a Europa League and Scottish Cup Final.
The 30-year-old admitted he worried about whether he would ever return to the pitch following his injury-ravaged time in Glasgow.
But he’s impressed hugely with Odense, and they are set to offer him a new deal, with Helander only initially handed a one-year contract.
Wesstrom said, “We are happy that Filip is here. We will make the best of it, and then we will see if we can find a contract for him that is longer than the agreement we have now.
“We absolutely must investigate that possibility.
“It’s very clear that if I had to decide, we would sign a five-year contract with Filip Helander. But I don’t think he’s that interested in that.”
Helander made just 35 league starts for Rangers after a £3.5 million move from Bologna four years ago and netted an Old Firm winner in a 1-0 victory in August 2021.
