Ryan Kent has been extensively connected with a move to Leeds United in recent years, but it appears that he will be moving away from European football, with Steven Gerrard ready to sign a deal.
Kent left Ibrox after five years to join Fenerbahce last summer, but the move has not worked out. Kent, 27, has started eight of Fenerbahce’s 32 league and cup games.
He only made one start in the SuperLiga, which is astonishing given how good he was in Scotland. A player known for being an assist machine who won the Premiership undefeated. The Europa League final.
Leeds, Bournemouth, and old club Rangers were all connected with him this month following his unsuccessful stay in Turkey. Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest are also rumoured to have looked.
According to reports last week, Kent, who was valued at £6 million, had submitted a transfer request to Fener, and Gerrard is now preparing for a reunion. That is according to a report published this week by Turkish publication Aksam.
Steven Gerrard will complete a deal for Leeds United target Ryan Kent.
It follows news last week that Gerrard coveted Kent. According to Aksam, Gerrard is ‘near’ to signing Kent, the latest in a long line of well-known players he has brought to Saudi Arabia with club Al-Ettifaq.
Jordan Henderson, Moussa Dembele, Gini Wijnaldum, Jack Hendry, and Demarai Gray have all joined Gerrard‘s squad under his leadership. Kent is preparing to join them, with a £3.5 million bid on the table.
The winger is closing down on a move to Saudi Arabia, thereby ruining Leeds‘ chances of signing him. Perhaps there is a prospect of a move in the future, but Kent is currently on his way to the Middle East.
