Rangers winger Ryan Kent is set to snub a move to Premier League side Leeds United should they launch a bid for the player amid £15m transfer talk in the media.
The tricky Ibrox star, 24, has elevated his game this season with his 25 goal contributions an impressive return numbers-wise but as we seen against Celtic at the weekend, this doesn’t tell the full story of his influence.
Kent is a hugely influential player for Rangers and far from be an outlandish investment that £7m we spent last season is beginning to look like a snip.
Kent’s form has been so good this season it even led to former Rangers midfielder Alex Rae claiming the Ibrox winger was a £25m earlier this month.
Reports emerged this week regarding Leeds’ renewed interest, Argentinian boss Marcelo Bielsa a long-term admirer of the Gers star and the Elland Road club having a bid rejected last summer.

This time the Scottish Sun are claiming that Kent is to be the subject of £15m interest from the Peacocks.
However, according to Football Insider, the Rangers star will turn down an approach from the Premier League outfit due to a “loyalty” to Steven Gerrard.
Not only that, but the report claims the winger wants a crack at the Champions League with the Ibrox side set to enter the Champions path of qualification.
The comments will be music to the ears of Rangers fans who will be delighted to hear reports that one of the club’s most important players wants to stick around next season.
Kent has been warned by one leading ex-Rangers winger to be careful what he wishes for regarding his future as he opened up on his “regret” at heading south too soon.
