According to The Sun, Rangers winger Ryan Kent is back on Leeds United’s radar as the summer window approaches.

It’s stated that Marcelo Bielsa remains keen on Kent having been linked with him on numerous occasions in the past.

Bielsa has allegedly told Victor Orta to go and move for Kent again with a £15million bid, with the Argentinian keen to add another winger to his side.

Leeds want a ‘quick answer’ from Kent, as Bielsa would like to have him on board for the start of pre-season training.

This would make it four summers in a row that Leeds have targeted Kent. In 2018, Leeds wanted the wide man on loan from Liverpool, but he ended up at Rangers.

Leeds then rivalled Rangers for his permanent signing in 2019, and had a bid rejected for him in 2020 having starred at Ibrox.

The 24-year-old has racked up 12 goals and 13 assists in a superb season, helping fire Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title.

Leeds face a decision on whether to sign Jack Harrison permanently, whilst Helder Costa’s mixed season means Bielsa may see Kent as the ideal winger to play opposite to Raphinha – but don’t expect Rangers to let their star wide man go without a fight.
