Leeds United are still interested in Rangers winger Ryan Kent, but they have other targets ahead of him, according to The Athletic.

It has been reported that Premier League club Leeds are ‘long-term admirers’ of the former Liverpool winger.

The report has added that Rangers, who won the Scottish Premiership title last season, could sell Kent as well as other players if big offers are made.

Should Leeds move on from Ryan Kent?

As reported by The Scottish Sun, Leeds had bids for Kent turned down by Rangers last summer.

The Whites are still interested in the 24-year-old, as Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa rates him highly.

But, perhaps it is time for Leeds to simply move on from the Englishman.

Yes, all players have their price, but it is very unlikely that Rangers will sell Kent unless they are offered a ridiculous sum.

After all, the Gers won the league title last season and could play in the Champions League in 2021-22.

Moreover, Kent himself may not be too tempted to make a switch now.

Leeds are a massive club and could be challenging for the Europa League places in the Premier League table next season, but Rangers could be playing in Europe’s premier club competition.

Leeds have made Jack Harrison’s loan deal permanent, and there is also Raphinha and Helder Costa, so it is not as if they have to sign a winger now.

Having said that, you have to admit that Kent would be an upgrade on Costa.
