Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are reportedly close to making their 10th summer signing.

If rumours are to be believed, Rangers are very close to signing Ryan Kent on loan.

According to The Scottish Sun, the 21-year-old is due to undergo a medical with Rangers and the Liverpool starlet could meet his new team-mates as early as Monday.

If the transfer materialises, Kent will represent Steven Gerrard’s 10th signing at Ibrox this summer – and the fourth to join on loan, following temporary moves for Liverpool team-mate Ovie Ejaria, Umar Sadiq and Lassana Coulibaly.

The talented winger scored a peach of a goal on his last appearance for the Reds – a 7-0 demolition of Chester in a friendly earlier this month.

And here is how some fans of the Merseyside club reacted to his seemingly imminent move to Ibrox.

As a right footer, Kent could provide serious competition for Daniel Candeias on the right-hand side of attack, but the big question is whether he can bounce back from his disappointing spell in the Championship last term.

The youngster endured a tough six-month loan at Bristol City and given the expectation at Rangers, there will be fierce pressure on him to perform.

But under Gerrard’s wing, Kent may blossom and recapture his best form once more.

Steven Gerrard is unveiled as the new manager of Rangers football Club at Ibrox Stadium on May 4, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.
