According to The Sun, Leeds plan to make another move to sign Rangers forward Ryan Kent, having failed with an attempt in the past.
The Sun claim that Marcelo Bielsa is very keen on the 24-year-old, who Rangers signed from Liverpool for £7.5 million in September 2019.
Bielsa has allegedly instructed Victor Orta to submit a £15 million bid for the Oldham-born attacker.
One man who’s a massive fan of Kent is, unsurprisingly, Steven Gerrard.
The Gers boss showered his No.14 in praise after he destroyed Willem II back in September.
The Scottish Sun quote Gerrard as saying: “From an attacking point of view, I think Ryan was the game changer for us tonight.
“He does incredibly well running in behind and he has added that into his game this season. He gets us the penalty for the breakthrough and he is just a constant threat. He is so sharp and he has added a different dimension to his game.”
In our view, Kent would be an incredible signing for Leeds.
The Englishman plays with such tempo and directness, and now has the ability to turn his talents into goals, or assists.
In 48 games this season, Kent has scored 12 goals while also recording 13 assists.
The winger is visibly improving.
Last season, he only scored eight goals, while assisting just four in 34 outings – he’s made huge strides this time around.
He has been a major driving force behind the club’s impeccable domestic form this term, and Gerrard surely won’t want to lose him.
He seems tailor-made for Bielsa, although those at Elland Road will presumably have to spend big in order to bring him to Yorkshire.
