Leeds United linked with summer move for Rangers winger Ryan Kent
The Daily Mail reported last week that Leeds were considering a move for Rangers winger Kent in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Leeds reportedly tried to sign the former Liverpool winger in 2020 and wanted to secure his services for £15 million in 2021.
The report claimed that the West Yorkshire club were looking at Kent last week as a potential replacement for Daniel James.
The Daily Mail claimed that Tottenham wanted to sign the Wales international winger last week.
James eventually join Fulham on loan from Leeds.
Kent stayed at Rangers and was in action against Celtic in the Old Firm derby this past weekend.
The winger had a disappointing game, as Celtic won the Scottish Premiership match 4-0.
Disappointing performance v Celtic
The Daily Record have slammed the performance of Kent, rating his display as 5 out of 10.
The report stated: “Winger had some nice touches and darts in the opening period as he was hungry to get on the ball. Looked dangerous with one or two passages of play but there was no cutting edge or big moment.”
Stats
Kent has given three assists in four Scottish Premiership matches for Rangers so far this season.
The 25-year-old winger scored two goals and provided seven assists in 24 league matches last season, and also scored one goal and gave three assists in 12 Europa League starts.
