Very rarely does a footballer get to fail and fall up the way but in the case of former Rangers winger Ryan Kent, this is exactly what is happening.
After leaving Ibrox under a cloud at the end of last season and not extending his contract despite the clear wishes of Michael Beale, he has struggled to find a place in Fenerbahce’s squad never mind their team.
From being one of the first names on the team sheet at Rangers to sitting in the stands, Ryan Kent has somehow managed to land the opportunity of a lifetime, according to Sky Sports’ Gianluca Di Marco.
Ex-Rangers star Ryan Kent gets second chance to shine
It wasn’t that long ago that Steven Gerrard had to fend off interest from the Premier League.
An offer said to be in the region of £10m was nowhere near what the then Gers boss valued his former Liverpool protege at.
During our title winning campaign of 2020/21, there would have been few arguments had he won player of the year to back up his previous PFA young player of the year award in his first season.
Then, he was in the Europa League team of the season despite not reaching the same heights domestically.
There was always a good player somewhere but there seemed to be a hurdle stopping him from taking his game to the next level.
Apparently, all he had to do was fail at his next club to attract the attention of one of European football’s biggest names.
Sky Sports Italy has claimed that there is a verbal agreement between Fenerbahce and Lazio and you would think that Ryan Kent won’t have any hesitation in moving to Serie A – it might not be the Premier League or a return to Rangers but it’s not exactly a bad alternative.
The busiest man in the world today, Fabrizio Romano, has taken the deal a step further by claiming that a loan agreement is now in place with an option to buy of £4.2m included too.
From not playing in Turkey to a European fight in one of the best leagues in the world for one of the most famous teams?
Now it’s up to him that he is still the same player that tore teams apart in Scotland and across the continent.
