BREAKING NEWS:Ryan Kent rejected terms and conditions and insisted leaving….
Rangers have been tipped to miss out on re-signing Ryan Kent in favour of a move to Leeds United, by Carlton Palmer.
The pundit told Football League World on 29 October that the former Fenerbahce winger is someone that clubs may nee to be “careful” with after his nightmare spell with the Turkish giants after leaving Ibrox originally.
English League One side Leyton Orient now said to be enquiring about a move for him and Championship side Leeds United hold a long-standing interest amid links to a Gers return, according to the Scottish Sun (26 October).
The 27-year-old is also believed to have potential options in Saudi Arabia despite the clamour for him to head back to Auchenhowie to train [Daily Mail, 22 October], but Palmer has named Elland Road as the right choice for the Englishman.
He said: “Listen, it’s one of those. Sometimes a player goes somewhere and things don’t work out. Kent joined Turkish club Fenerbache, but the 27-year-old winger – who was on a four-year contract – had his contract ripped up.
“He can now train and play for any football club in January. It just didn’t work out for him, he struggled for game time there and it was an unhappy spell for him in Turkey… He joined on a free from Rangers in 2023 and fell out of favour quickly. Apparently, Leeds United are a club looking at Kent.
“I’ve always said you’ve got to be careful with free transfers and players who are out of contract, they’re out of contract for a reason. But I think with Kent, this may well be a good move for Leeds – certainly an ambitious move for Leyton Orient.
“Apparently there’s some interest from Steven Gerrard’s Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, he’s out of contract so that makes him very appealing and he’s still got some time at 27. Sometimes you go to some places and it doesn’t work out.
