The journalist who first broke the story regarding Leeds United’s interest in Rangers star Ryan Kent in the summer has claimed the Elland Road club will launch a third bid for the player.
Alan Nixon revealed during the summer window that Leeds had made a £10m offer for the winger [Scottish Sun].
Now, Nixon has returned to write a similar story ahead of the summer window again which claims legendary Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa will return for Kent this summer.
According to that report – also in the Scottish Sun – Leeds may increase their offer for the tricky winger to £15m in an effort to get their man.
That figure is still £10m off the £25m player Kent was rated as during the week by former Ibrox midfielder Alex Rae.
According to Nixon’s latest report, this would be the third time that Marcelo Bielsa has tried to sign the player for Leeds with the ex-Argentina boss known to be a keen admirer.
Ryan Kent, 25, has enjoyed a strong season in light blue and continues to be a big game player for Rangers and one of the club’s most valuable assets.
Signed from Liverpool for £7m in 2019 following a successful loan spell, Kent has improved as a footballer season-on-season and this campaign has been his strongest in terms of goal contributions.
Kent has netted 12 goals and laid on a further 13, meaning he has contributed 25 goals to the club in a legendary campaign where Rangers have already been crowned Champions.
However, despite the interest from down south, one legendary former Gers winger has warned Kenty about following his lead and moving down south too soon.
