Leeds United are interested in Fenerbahçe’s Ryan Kent, with the winger expected to leave the Turkish giants in the Janaury window.
Who is Ryan Kent?
The 27-year-old is a name that many Whites fans will be aware of, as Kent previously started out at Liverpool, although he failed to break into the first-team, with his game time coming out on loan.
A permanent switch to Rangers was the making of the attacker, as he enjoyed a relatively successful period in Glasgow, where the side won the league under Steven Gerrard.
As well as that, Kent was hugely influential as the Ibrox outfit reached the Europa League final last year, but they lost on penalties to Frankfurt, in what would be Kent’s last game in a blue shirt.
With his deal expiring, Kent secured a high-profile free transfer switch to Fenerbahçe in the summer, and whilst he is featuring regularly for the Istanbul side, he is not in the best XI.
Leeds United keen on Ryan Kent
Despite only moving to Turkey in the summer, TEAMtalk has revealed that Kent could be on the move, as he has struggled to adapt to his new country.
And, the report states that Leeds are willing to bring the player back to the United Kingdom, although they will face competition from Bournemouth if they push to do a deal.
As well as that, it’s thought that Rangers are ‘keeping an eye’ on the situation of Kent, but the update claims that new boss Phillipe Clement will look at alternative options, so a return could be difficult.
Fenerbahçe are believed to be open to letting Kent leave on loan, which would make him an attractive option to potential suitors in the New Year.
