The latest reports are claiming Fenerbahce have come to a decision over Ryan Kent with a Turkish outlet claiming the winger HAS agreed a deal in Turkey.

Turkish outlet Fotomac have stated that Fenerbahce have agreed a £6m deal for the winger which will see him earn £1.5m-per-season over four-years as his contract expires at Rangers.

The extensive report claims that an agreement has been struck since Monday – in keeping with a tweet from Turkish journalist Yabiz Sabuncuoglu – and that Ryan Kent will move to Turkey come the end of the season.

The news might come as a surprise to Rangers supporters who might’ve expected the winger to move to the Premier League amid Ryan Kent links to Burnley.

There have also been extensive links to Champions League club Club Brugge, who were linked with a move for Ryan Kent before the player signed for Rangers.

Whilst we’re always a tad sceptical about transfer reports coming out of Turkey, the coverage around Ryan Kent and Fenerbahce appears to be getting more intense by the day.

It would certainly represent an interesting move for the attacker who came through the youth ranks at Liverpool and who – on his day – was arguably the most talented player in the country.

Rangers fans will eventually look back on the attacker’s Ibrox career with fondness, Ryan Kent really being the first player to take the game to Celtic as the club built back up the divisions.

There are several big moments from Old Firm derbies in Ryan Kent’s career, with his inspired showings on the road to 55 helping to put an end to Celtic’s 10IAR hopes.

Seemingly Fenerbahce-bound Ryan Kent was also a key player for Rangers in the run to the Europa League Final and despite a massive downturn in form this season, his contribution to the club was substantial.

Out of the team with an injury and having likely played his final game for Rangers, Kent has played 218 games for the Gers, scoring 33 goals and laying on 57 assists.
