# Rangers: Premier League club make Ryan Kent approach

**A Premier League club have reportedly made an approach to try and lure [Glasgow Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/) winger Ryan Kent away from Ibrox this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Contract talks

Rangers are [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/ryan-kent-new-contract-spfl/) ‘increasingly hopeful’ that Kent will sign a new contract at Ibrox, with the latest round of talks thought to be positive.

His current deal at expires [this summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-kent/profil/spieler/279457), meaning that he can leave as a free agent at the end of the campaign should a new contract not be signed.

### The Latest: Leeds approach

As per [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-leeds-united-make-approach-to-sign-rangers-star-ryan-kent/), Leeds United have made an approach to try and sign Kent on a free transfer, and have officially registered their interest.

They have been ‘in contact’ with the player’s camp, and hold a long-term interest in him dating back to when Marcelo Bielsa was in charge.

### The Verdict: Keep at all costs

Kent is a player that the Gers really need to try and keep hold of at all costs.

Lauded as an ‘[incredible](https://twitter.com/JordanC1107/status/1528090328099610624)‘ athlete by The Athletic reporter Jordan Campbell, the Englishman can dribble with the ball at an immense speed, and ranks in the [91st percentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/316de854/Ryan-Kent) of all his positional peers outside of Europe’s top five leagues for successful take-ons per match over the last year.

Kent has also shown that he has a consistent end product as well, with no fewer than [88](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-kent/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/279457/plus/0?saison=&verein=124&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) goal contributions in total since he first signed in the 2018/19 term.

Nonetheless, he still has a lot to offer at 26, and so signing him up to a new deal should be a priority for the Light Blues over the next few months.
