Ryan Kent coy on his future as he address Leeds United transfer speculation

Ryan Kent has admitted he is 'not sure' where his future will take him, but insisted he is remaining focused on the job at hand at Rangers.

Marcelo Bielsa has long been an admirer of the 23-year-old forward and Leeds United attempted to sign Kent from Liverpool last summer, only for him to move north of the border and link up with Steven Gerrard.

Leeds have reportedly seen an initial bid turned down in the current window, amid speculation they will follow up their double swoop of Rodrigo and Robin Koch with a fresh move for the the Rangers man.

Kent impressed in Gers' 2-0 win over Hamilton on Saturday night and addressed the issue of his future following the match.

"This is a club that has given me opportunities that I've not had before," he said.

"It's a massive football club, so I'll continue to do right by Rangers. I can't thank the fans enough, they've always been supportive of me even when I was on loan.

"I'll continue to give my best for Rangers.

"Where my future takes me, I'm not sure but as long as I've got a Rangers shirt on, I'll give my best."

Kent has put his impressive form down to his relationship with fellow Liverpool alumnus Gerrard.

"The relationship with the manager is key, as it is for any footballer," he added. "Especially for a forward player, you need to feel comfortable and enjoy your football.

"I certainly do here. The coaching staff have put a lot of faith in me and a lot of work into me to get numbers into my game.

"That's showing this season. I'm getting into the right areas now and putting away finishes that I wasn't last season.

"I want to repay the manager for that backing, this is the season to do that."
