Rangers boss Steven Gerrard makes Ryan Kent transfer interest admission after Leeds United bid

Steven Gerrard says he does not think Leeds United will be the only club interested in Ryan Kent.

Rangers have already rejected one bid from Elland Road for the winger, who has shone since initially going on loan to Ibrox from Liverpool two seasons ago.

The Whites were said to be keeping tabs on Kent when he turned his loan into a permanent move and they have now renewed their interest in the player.

Having already had one bid rejected for the 23-year-old, it remains to be seen whether Leeds continue to pursue their interest - especially with Kent himself openly admitting he is happy to stay at Ibrox.

Rangers boss Gerrard has been full of praise for how Kent has handled the situation and says he will not be surprised to field calls from other clubs over the winger.

Gerrard told the Scotsman: "He hasn't let any interest affect him. He's used it as a compliment that people are enjoying what they're seeing in terms of his form.

"He's scoring goals and looking very dangerous.

"He is going to get more interest, and we are going to get more interest and phone calls over Ryan Kent because he's a fantastic player."

The winger was named Premiership player of the month for August after an impressive start to the season which has seen Rangers go unbeaten and shoot to the top of the table early on.

He has also previously been linked with Aston Villa thanks to his good form at Ibrox.
