A leading Rangers club insider has rubbished reports that Ibrox winger Ryan Kent wants a move to Leeds United as the “definition of fake news”.
Est Consultancy were responding directly to a report from 90min.com which claims that ex-Liverpool star Kent is “keen” on a return down south.

The Rangers insiders are clearly unamused with the suggestion that Kent wants away and have categorically rubbished the report.
They also claim that “Leeds know they are wasting their time” amid reports Rangers rejected a £10m bid for the player.
There have also been claims that Leeds are preparing to up their bid to £14m in the coming days [Scottish Sun] but it remains unclear if this will be enough to tempt the Gers into selling.
The same report also claims Leeds are willing to offer Kent £50k per week on wages.
The 90min.com report is also in direct conflict with other reports closer to home in Scotland with even Steven Gerrard claiming the player is “settled” at Rangers [Times].
Tricky winger Kent also looked completed unperturbed by the reported interest as the 23-year-old kept up his fine form for Rangers with a goal in the 2-0 win over Kilmarnock.
Kent’s attitude is in stark contrast to that of Alfredo Morelos who was dropped from the squad against Kilmarnock after dropping his training levels amid interest from Lille.
