Former Rangers fan favourite Ryan Kent could be heading to England in a surprise move to Championship outfit Hull City.
According to Turkish publication Footmac, Fenerbahce may be willing to loan the 26-year-old if they secure two of their three transfer targets this summer.
Cengiz Ünder, Tete and Lucas Ocampos form a group of potential arrivals for the Turkish giants this transfer window – should a pair from this list make the move to Turkey, Kent would be surplus to requirements despite only joining the club in June himself.
The Englishman spent five years at Ibrox, one of which was on loan, before departing. He amassed 218 appearances in total, impressively scoring 33 goals and registering 56 assists.
Kent lifted both the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish Cup during his time with the Gers and earned praise in plentiful with former boss Steven Gerrard previously making a ‘world-class’ claim regarding the winger.
Hull have links to Turkey due to their ownership, so there could be a genuine possibility for the ex-Rangers man to make a return to England.
He has been linked with a move back to his homeland on multiple occasions this summer. Leeds United and Burnley being prime examples, but it could be the Tigers that benefit from his unfortunate Fenerbahce situation.
Kent played and scored for the Turkish outfit on Wednesday in their 5-0 victory over FC Zimbru in the Europa Conference League qualifier first leg and looked set to become an important player for the club, so the reports of his possible departure are bound to come as a shock.
What next for Kent?
If he was to join Hull, then it would beg the question whether or not he made the right decision to quit Rangers this summer.
It certainly would not reflect the heights expected of him, although a solid season in the Championship could well put him back in contention for a starting spot with Fenerbahce, or at the very least in the shop window.
This one is certainly a scoop to keep an eye on.
