The Scottish Sun reports that Aston Villa are considering a £10 million move for Ryan Kent.
The 22-year-old winger enjoyed a fantastic 2018/19 season with Rangers, on loan from Liverpool.
He scored six times and notched the same number of assists in the SPL [Transfermarkt] while putting in several memorable displays against Celtic.
He really caught the eye, securing the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
Furthermore, he earned the adoration of the Rangers fans. So much so, that they have been demanding the club secures his signature for next season.
However, it’s suggested that Villa will be willing to stump up an eight-figure sum for his services. Should they do so, it’s unlikely the Gers will be able to compete.
Dean Smith’s side takes on Derby County in the Championship Play-Off final on Monday. It’s a game with so much riding on it in terms of finances, but it’s believed Villa will go for Kent whether they gain promotion or not.

The result could make all the difference to Kent, though. The report claims he wants to ‘play at a high level in England.’
Therefore, if Grealish and co. can see off Derby, perhaps the electric winger will be gracing Villa Park next season, rather than Ibrox.
