Scottish Premiership giants Rangers are reportedly set to sign Ryan Kent on loan from Premier League giants Liverpool again.

Ryan Kent is likely to return to Rangers for a second spell on loan from Liverpool this summer, according to the Birmingham Mail, despite links with Aston Villa, Leeds United and Middlesbrough.

It is shaping up to be another busy transfer window at Ibrox with Sheyi Ojo, George Edmundson, Joe Aribo, Jordan Jones and Jake Hastie all arriving so far while experienced midfielder Steven Davies has been snapped up on a permanent basis from Southampton.

But re-signing Kent could be the best piece of business The Gers do all summer long.

The jet-heeled winger made a huge impression at Ibrox last season, scoring six goals and earning the PFA Young Player of the Year award on the back of some thrilling performances on the left-hand side.

It looked like Kent was set to leave Anfield permanently this summer with Liverpool demanding £12 million but, according to the Birmingham Mail, a return to Rangers is now the most likely scenario.

The report adds that Middlesbrough and Leeds are keen too. But with Jack Harrison and Jack Clarke returning to Elland Road, Liam McCarron arriving and Helder Costa expected to sign too, Leeds may no longer need a player with Kent’s characteristics.

So what a chance this is for Rangers to sign a player who has the potential to take the Scottish Premiership by storm next season. Celtic beware, Gerrard is putting together a squad full of young, hungry and hugely promising talents.
