Ryan Kent was superb for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers last year.
Rangers captain James Tavernier has posted a photo of himself and Ryan Kent on Twitter – and naturally some fans excited by it.
Kent was a revelation during his season-long loan at Rangers last term.
But The Echo reports that Liverpool could ask for as much as £12 million for the 22-year-old winger, who had stand-out performances against Celtic toward the end of the campaign.
Nevertheless, Gers boss Steven Gerrard is on record as saying that he does want to keep Kent at Ibrox beyond this summer.
There has been little optimism regarding that scenario since, but fans of the Ibrox side believe – and hope – that by posting a picture of himself with Kent, Tavernier is throwing out a clue.
If – and it might be a big IF – Kent stays, then Rangers might have fought off competition from Aston Villa who, according to The Scottish Sun, are interested in signing him too.
From his perspective, he might well feel tempted by the prospect of returning to English football, be it on loan or a permanent switch.
