Ryan Kent in Rangers transfer admission as Leeds United interest refuses to die

Ryan Kent admitted it’s “nice” to be linked with big moves to the likes of Leeds United.

But the winger insists he loves it at Rangers and is focused on nothing else.

Leeds tried to buy Kent last summer and were recently linked with a fresh £15million bid for the ex-Liverpool man.

But Kent is paying that sort of talk no heed as he prepares for the final Old Firm clash of the Premiership season against Celtic tomorrow.

"It's just about playing in the now,” he told Sky Sports.

"It's nice to be linked with other big clubs, but you've got to understand your duty to where you are.

"As long as I'm at Rangers, I'll give 100 per cent to the club.

"I love this place, it's done so much for me, so as long as I'm here, my mind is solely focused on Rangers."

Manager Steven Gerrard addressed Kent’s future back in August when he issued a warning to any potential suitors after Rangers dropped £7million on the wide man after a successful loan spell.

He said: "The message for sure is "hands off.

"Ryan is a player we admire very much here. He’s a player we’ve seen develop at Liverpool for a long time then brought him here and he did ever so well on loan.

"We went and bought Ryan and showed a lot of faith in him and he’s progressing very, very quickly here.

"He’s in a good place and a player we want to keep hold of.

"But yes we have had contact from Leeds and an opening bid has been really strongly rejected."
