Ryan Kent opens up on Fenerbahce transfer and why he decided to exit Rangers

Ryan Kent has described himself as a 'dynamic player' and revealed he was desperate to sign for Fenerbahce as soon as possible.

The former Rangers winger quit Ibrox after five years at the club and moved to the Turkish Super League for a new challenge last month.

And the ex-Liverpool player, in an interview on Fenerbahce TV, has made it clear he couldn't sign for the Istanbul side quick enough and is now determined to wrestle the title off bitter rivals Galatasaray after his new club finished runners-up.

Kent said: "As soon as I heard about Fenerbahce's interest I felt happy and I wanted this transfer to happen as quickly as possible.

"I look forward to being on the pitch for the new season. I know this club has had a lot of great players and I want to be one of them.

"I am a dynamic football player who likes to dribble the ball, play directly and towards the goal. I like to take on players one-on-one.

"But I am someone who works a lot to the benefit of the team too.

"I want to help the team with goals and assists. I am a team player.

"I would like to express my gratitude to our fans for their support since I arrived and my teammates also welcomed me very well.

"There will be no problem in me adapting. I've been away from my family since I was young and the reason for this was to gain experience. I had to do this in order to become a professional football player.

"At my previous club, there were great rivalries and I am aware there is a very strong competition here as well. I am ready for it.

"We've already had a team meeting with the manager and he told us his plans for the season and how we would be successful.

"I promise our fans; I'm going to play in a style that gets them excited. A club like this deserves to win leagues and cups.

"We won the Turkish Cup last season and I want to be successful in every tournament we enter."
