As Premier League Leeds reportedly line up a £14m move for Rangers winger Ryan Kent, their fans are interestingly not so keen.
The Ibrox legions famously adore tricky winger Kent and there are more than a few of them chewing their fingernails at the prospect of the player leaving.
Club insiders have slapped down reports than Kent is keen to move but with Gerrard saying the decision could be taken out of his hands there’s a nervous wait to see how serious Leeds are.
Rangers are said to have rejected a £10m approach ahead of the club’s visit of Kilmarnock, in which Kent scored the second in a 2-0 win.
But there have been numerous comments cropping up around the internet about the Leeds legion’s discontent about interest in the former Liverpool player.
The Elland Road club’s supporters appear to be unimpressed with links to the player despite his rapid development in Scotland and noted interest from Marcelo Bielsa.
Whilst there are some who do rate the Rangers winger, there are plenty who feel like the newly-promoted Premier League side’s money would be better spent elsewhere:

You get the picture.
There’s a measure of the expected English football fan arrogance over players plying their trade in Scotland but much of it comes down to a lack of belief or knowledge of the player’s ability.
Ryan Kent is arguably the most talented player at Ibrox and is surely destined to make a name himself in the Premier League if Rangers can’t keep a hold of him.
But if it were down to much of the Leeds support, that wouldn’t be at Elland Road.
