Rangers winger Ryan Kent has suggested on Sky Sports that he will not join Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
Leeds are interested in signing Kent from Rangers in the summer transfer window, according to a report in The Scottish Sun last month.
The Premier League club reportedly wanted to sign the former Liverpool winger last summer as well and may have to pay as much as £15 million in transfer fees this time around.
However, Kent has suggested that he will not move to Leeds because of the chance to play for Rangers in the Champions League.
Steven Gerrard’s side have won the Scottish Premiership title this campaign and could feature in Europe’s premier club completion in 2021-22.
Kent told Sky Sports, as transcribed by Leeds Live: “It’s nice to be linked with other football clubs, the big clubs, but you’ve got to understand the duty of where you’re at and as long as I’m at Rangers I’ll always give 100 per cent to the club.
“I love this place and it’s done so much for me. As long as I am here my mind is solely focused on Rangers. Is the Champions League a motivation? Massive.
“It’s the biggest stage in club football and to be able to test yourself against the best players and teams in the world would be quite special.”
Leeds United or Rangers?
Leeds are a massive club and are having a wonderful season in the Premier League, but Rangers could feature in the Champions League in 2021-22.
Kent played for Rangers in the Europa League this season, and the chance to potentially face the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Manchester United is very appealing indeed.
However, money talks, and if Leeds make a huge offer for the 24-year-old this summer, then Rangers could be tempted to cash in on the winger.
