Ryan Kent 'open to Leeds United move' as Rangers chase second loan deal

Rangers target Ryan Kent is open to joining Leeds United - according to a report.

It was claimed earlier on Monday the Liverpool winger was closing in on a second loan move to Ibrox, following an impressive stint last term.

Steven Gerrard has been chasing a deal to bring the 22-year-old back to Glasgow but, according to Leeds Live, Kent is keeping his options open after the Championship side were linked with a move over the weekend.

Leeds director of football Victor Orta is believed to be a long-time admirer and talks have taken place with the player's camp on multiple occasions over the past few years.

Kent is awaiting a decision from Anfield as to what the club intends for him, and is said to be in the dark over his next destination.

His stock is at an all-time high as he picked up the PFA Young Player of the Year and became a firm favourite with Rangers fans.

Aston Villa have also been linked, although is unlikely to join given the Premier League's rules limiting the number of loan players allowed at clubs.

Gerrard's close links with Liverpool could prove pivotal if his former club are willing to do the Merseyside legend a favour and allow Kent to return north.

Meanwhile, a deal for Joe Aribo remains a possibility with the Charlton midfielder set to decide his future this weeks.

Talks have been held with Rangers but the 22-year-old is believed to have a number of English clubs on his trail, as well as Premiership champions Celtic.

He's out of contract with the Addicks at the end of June and is not expected to agree fresh terms.
