Rangers No.14 Ryan Kent could now be heading to the Premier League with Leeds United as he prepares for life after Ibrox.
According to Tutto Mercato Web in Italy, the 26-year-old is wanted by those at Elland Road as he nears free agency, with his Rangers contract set to expire in June.
However – as mentioned by the Italian news outlet – Leeds are not the only side interested in Ryan Kent.
What’s the story?
Well, it is said that Bologna and Udinese are also keen to sign Kent.
Additionally, Fenerbahce are believed to have already made the Oldham-born winger an offer, so Leeds certainly don’t have a clear run at his signature by any means.
While we mentioned at the start of the article that Kent would be heading to the Premier League with Leeds, the Whites still have plenty of work to do before they can call themselves a top-flight side next season.
As things stand, Leeds are 19th in the Premier League, two points away from safety with three games remaining.
If they are relegated, it remains to be seen if Kent would be willing to drop into the Championship – especially as Burnley are keen to offer him a shot at Premier League football, according to The Scottish Sun.
Rangers must replace Ryan Kent
While the £18,000-a-week man has divided opinion amongst supporters this season, Michael Beale has to find a suitable replacement, as Rangers will miss him.
Kent – who Kris Boyd claimed in January has to be kept at Ibrox – scored three goals and provided ten assists in 29 Scottish Premiership appearances this season, and it is a real shame that Rangers will lose him for nothing.
A few years ago, he was easily worth at least £10m.
Nevertheless, Kent has done well for Rangers across his 218 games in Glasgow, and he has earned the right to try a new adventure.
