Ryan Kent is being tipped to head out the exit door at Rangers after recent displays.
An Old Firm display that frustrated fans when Kent should have been driven to drag his team to victory, instead saw him hold his team back.
Initial thoughts when Michael Beale first arrived as Rangers manager were that the new boss would be the man to get the best out of the 26-year old winger.
Things haven’t worked out quite as planned with Ryan Kent sitting on just three goals for the season.
What is the latest on Ryan Kent’s Rangers future?
Transfer journalist Dean Jones, speaking to GiveMeSport, has claimed that now could be the time for the £7.5million man to move on and that a change could be in the best interests of all parties concerned:
“You look at somebody like Kent, who is obviously a very talented player, but sometimes I think you can get too comfortable at a club or you just need a change of environment to spark something fresh in terms of your form.
“I did think he would end up staying at Rangers, but I’m starting to have doubts about that now. I think it actually might be the end of the road there.”
I have to agree with Jones.
An image of Ryan Kent from the Old Firm derby showed exactly how low the winger’s confidence has dropped and how even the simplest of opportunities has seen him become indecisive.
A Rangers forward or attacking midfielder will always be judged on the purest and most simple metric, regardless of work rate and effort – goals – and it is this that now sees Kent surplus to requirements for many.
For a top earner, in an attacking position, Beale needs reliability and consistency as well as ability.
Ryan Kent is no longer reliable or consistent and his title winning form for Rangers in 2020/21 seems a lifetime ago.
