Steven Gerrard has provided an update on Rangers' pursuit of Ryan Kent - and admits he “loves” the winger.
Rangers are desperate to take the Liverpool star back to Ibrox for a second loan spell after last season’s success.
But, as Record Sport revealed last month, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wants a closer look at the player before deciding what to do.
Rangers remain at the front of the queue and the player is understood to prefer a move back to Glasgow on loan.
Gerrard said: "Yes we would like Ryan back but the reality is he’s Liverpool’s player so we have to respect that.
"Jurgen Klopp I’m sure will want to take a look at Ryan but we are at the table.
"We love the player, we felt we did a good job with him for 12 months and feel there’s more to come on the job we’d like to do with him.
"We’re progressing in terms of our targets and the squad is close to being finished - but we’re not finished just yet."
