Rangers are closing in on a deal to bring top target Ryan Kent back to Ibrox this summer, according to a report, after looking like they could miss out on the Liverpool winger’s signature.

The Scottish Daily Mail (10/6, back page) report that the Gers are close to an agreement to bring Kent back to Ibrox, with the winger signing a new Liverpool deal before he heads north once more.
Kent was a revelation at Ibrox last season and had arguably the best season of his career to date.

While Gerrard’s side aren’t exactly short of options wide men, bringing Kent back would be a big boost for the Gers as they look to dethrone bitter rivals Celtic.
It may well end up being the case that Kent doesn’t actually head for Glasgow until later in the summer as Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp runs the rule over him but hopefully, Rangers can have him in place before the Europa League gets underway next month.

There’s little doubt that the winger had opposition fans and defences worried last season and, as the Gers look to get their hands on the title for the first time since 2011, a return to Glasgow would unquestionably see him tear defences apart again.
