Rangers fans might have raged at the “exclusive” aspect [Daily Record] of the news this morning that Ryan Kent was trying to force his way out of Anfield, but what do Liverpool fans think?

The Melwood youth product is contracted to Liverpool until 2022 and Liverpool don’t appear to be willing to budge on their refusal to loan the player again this window.

With Rangers seemingly desperate to snap Kent up, Anfield supporters have been responding to claims he wants to force Jurgen Klopp’s hand.

There’s a bit of a mixed bag in there, but the general feeling amongst Liverpool fans who have spoken out is that Kent should be allowed to join Rangers.

But it will almost certainly have to be with a view to a permanent deal.

Liverpool are reportedly refusing to budge on their view the player will not leave on loan this season.

Rangers, however, are unlikely to meet the low-end £7m being touted and certainly cannot reach the £12m some outlets are claiming Liverpool are asking for.

There is a suggestion that Rangers could loan the player for a considerable fee and then complete the transfer with an obligation to buy next season.

The Ibrox club has a similar agreement with Brighton for the transfer of Jamie Murphy last year.
