Ryan Kent tells Rangers he wants to leave with Leeds United in race to sign him
Ryan Kent has told Rangers he wants to leave the club, with Leeds United in the race to sign the winger, according to Fanatik.
Kent’s contract with the Scottish Premiership outfit expires at the end of the season.
The attacker has already agreed a contract to join Fenerbahce upon his exit from Rangers, according to Ertan Suzgun (4 May).
Fanatik noted: “Just like the Canary (Fenerbahce), Kent was claimed to be wanted by Leeds United and Burnley from England, while the 26-year-old winger reportedly said to Rangers: ‘I haven’t signed an official contract with any club yet. But I don’t plan to continue here either.’”
Impending summer exit
Kent has been a firm fan favourite during his time at Ibrox, with the winger producing countless memorable moments in a Rangers shirt, often winning matches on his own thanks to his raw talent.
But Gers fans look set to have to say goodbye to the former Liverpool man, who is slowly but surely winding down his contract at the Glasgow outfit, with a race seemingly ensuing for his signature.
His next club can count themselves very fortunate to not only land such a talented player, but acquire his services for free, which is a rarity in this day and age.
But for Rangers, the impending exit highlights just how poor they have dealt with some players in recent times, with Kent’s loss on a free really unacceptable given how much they could have received.
For Leeds, it would definitely be a smart signing, but whether or not they are beaten to his signature by Fenerbache remains to be seen.
