Leeds United could make a move for Ryan Kent after his departure from Fenerbahce.
The Scottish Sun reported on 17th October that the 27-year-old winger, who previously played for Rangers, has had his contract mutually terminated just 16 months into his four-year deal.
Kent is now a free agent, and it’s expected there will be a scramble to sign him.
Leeds United have been mentioned as one of the clubs who have been long interested in him, especially during his time in Scotland with Rangers.
Could Ryan Kent Be the Answer for Leeds?
Leeds have been considering free agents recently, particularly after key injuries in midfield.
Daniel Farke, the Leeds manager, has been open about signing out-of-contract players after long-term injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev.
However, Kent is more of a forward player rather than a defensive midfielder.
This may leave fans wondering if he’s the right fit to cover Leeds’ current problems in midfield.
Looking for the Right Player
Leeds had Cheikhou Kouyate training with them recently, but his potential move fell through.
Farke is now turning his attention to players like former Arsenal man Francis Coquelin to cover defensive midfield.
But with Georginio Rutter sold to Brighton late in the transfer window, Leeds could still use someone to fill the number 10 role, which Kent has experience in.
His versatility could make him a valuable asset for the squad, though it remains to be seen if Leeds will make a formal offer.
In conclusion, with Kent now a free agent, Leeds have the opportunity to bring in a player who has long been on their radar.
Whether Kent will be the right fit for the team or not is a decision Farke will need to make soon.
What Next for Leeds?
Only time will tell if Leeds United make a move for Ryan Kent.
The club’s injury problems have pushed them to look for free agents, but whether Kent will help in the midfield or take a more attacking role is yet to be seen.
Fans will be watching closely to see if Leeds can strike a deal and bring Kent to Elland Road.
