The winger has caught the attention of a number of clubs with his impressive form north of the border.

Former Leeds United and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes his old club will get ‘a top player’ if they chose to move for Rangers winger Ryan Kent.

The former Liverpool academy product has been an overwhelming success since leaving to Anfield to join the Glasgow giants on an initial season-long loan deal in July 2018.

After an impressive first 12 months at Ibrox, that deal was converted into a permanent switch in September 2019, with Liverpool receiving an initial £6.5million for the winger.

Kent has gone on to become a popular figure with Rangers after helping the club lift the Scottish Premier League title in 2021 before playing a key role in their Scottish Cup Final win over Hearts earlier this year.

The 25-year-old was also part of the Gers side that reached last season’s Europa League Final, before suffering an agonising penalty shoot-out defeat against German side Eintracht Frankfurt.

Speculation over a move away from Ibrox has increased in recent months as Kent enters the final year of his current contract.

Recent reports have suggested Kent has rejected a ‘big money’ offer from Rangers and both Leeds and Aston Villa are said to be long-term admirers of the winger.
