Birmingham City are reportedly among a host of sides that are interested in Liverpool winger Ryan Kent.

A report in the Daily Mirror has suggested that Birmingham have become the latest club to register an interest in Liverpool winger Ryan Kent.
Kent is one of the brighter prospects coming through at Anfield, and the Mirror reports that a number of Championship sides are keen on signing him on a season-long loan.
The Mirror adds that Birmingham are one of those teams as Harry Redknapp looks to construct a squad capable of finishing much higher than they did last season when they needed a final day result to guarantee survival.
Although the Mirror does not suggest which other sides are interested, it must be mentioned that The Sun on Sunday (print edition; June 11th 2017; pg. 59) claimed Celtic were interested, while the Daily Mail reported in April that Bournemouth, Brighton and Leeds all wanted him in some capacity, so it may not be out of the question to suggest that the trio could perhaps still be interested.
If Birmingham were able to win the race for the 20-year-old, it would arguably be a coup for the Blues ahead of the new campaign.
During his loan spell with Barnsley last term, he contributed three goals and one assist, but often looked a lot more dangerous on the wing than his statistics suggest.
