Ryan Kent completed a move to Fenerbahce on a free transfer from Rangers – but reports have emerged in Turkey that he could already be allowed to leave on loan despite scoring on debut, and Leeds have got to be on red alert.
Kent, 26, ended a five-year stint at Rangers in the summer to join the Turkish side. He clocked up 218 games for the Gers, having a hand in 89 goals. Scottish Premiership winner, in an unbeaten season, and a Europa League finalist.
But he needed a change and made the slightly surprising move to Turkey, with Fenerbahce. But that was on July 1. Fener have targeted new players – in the form of Cengiz Under, Lucas Ocampos and Tete, according to Fotomac.
Kent even scored on debut last week. A 5-0 win over Moldovan side Zimbru Chisinau. But now he could leave on loan, with Hull City looking to take him on loan. But as a long-term Leeds target, surely we should be on red alert?
Leeds have got to be on red alert as Ryan Kent could leave Fenerbahce
Leeds will be on the lookout for wingers. Seven are currently at the club, but three or more could go. Willy Gnonto and Jack Harrison are expected to leave before the end of the month. Helder Costa an outcast, with a super agent.
Jorge Mendes is likely to find him a new home. Ian Poveda has impressed in pre-season, and he is likely to be one of four options used moving forward – along with Luis Sinisterra, Cree Summerville and returning winger Dan James.
The Sun reported in 2021 that Marcelo Bielsa had told Victor Orta to sign Kent. He has been linked subsequently in every window, but he chose Fener this summer. However, that move is already looking as though it will backfire.
Leeds need a winger, Leeds are renowned admirers of Kent and there is the chance to get the Englishman on loan. Surely, the Whites need to be weighing up an offer – if the likes of Harrison, Gnonto, Costa and more depart Leeds.
