Leeds United winger target open to Elland Road loan move

According to Leeds Live, Liverpool’s flying winger Ryan Kent is “open to a Leeds United summer switch” should one come up.

The Whites were linked to Kent yesterday, something that we wrote about here at The72 at the time. That article was based on one from Football Insider, their writer Wayne Veysey saying that United were one of a host of clubs interested in the 22-year-old.

Football Insider said that “Leeds United have made approaches” for the pair [including Harry Wilson] in order to “step up plans to reinforce their attacking arsenal.”

Leeds United have already warned their fans that the club will be running what they termed a ‘difficult’ window as the ramifications of FFP regulations cut into both themselves and other clubs. Temporary deals through the loan market are seen as the way to doing this.

Leeds Live take it a tantalising step closer by saying the Kent “is open” to signing for the Whites on a temporary loan deal, adding that Victor Orta “is understood to have held talks with Kent’s representative on more than one occasion.”

It would be a loan that would cause a degree of consternation in Glasgow after a successful spell in the SPL with Rangers last season.

During the young Liverpool starlet’s loan to the SPL club, Rangers fans got to see flashes of just why Liverpool rate him so highly. Oldham-born Kent featured in 23 SPL games for the Gers, scoring six goals and adding six assists in performances that impressed.

He also featured in six Europa League Qualifying games (one assist) for Rangers as well as three games in the Europa League proper. In total he featured in 43 games for the Scottish side, totalling six goals and nine assists.

Signing Kent on loan, if added to the reported moves and interest in Harry Wilson and Helder Costa would give the Whites a formidable attack in next season’s Sky Bet Championship.
