World News – UK – Pundit believes a change of agent could pave the way for Kent’s move south

Kevin Phillips believes Ryan Kent may envisage a Rangers winter outcome with Leeds United being a possible target for the winger.

Kent, 24, joined Ibrox for one season in the summer of 2018. He performed well north of the border with six goals and nine assists from 43 appearances in all competitions.

After the Gers returned to the Liverpool parents’ association for the preseason in 2019-2020, they grabbed a permanent contract. An entry fee of £ 6. 5 million was enough to land the Anfield midfielder on a four-year deal.

The Oldham-born ace impressed last season with eight goals from 33 games and has not let up this season. Steven Gerrard’s team are currently nine points ahead of the top of the Scottish Premiership standings. Kent has played his part, starting all 14 league games and scoring four goals.

The Glasgow giants won’t want to lose him and hope to tie him to a new deal. However, he recently changed agents and his family is now in charge of the affairs.

Former England striker Phillips believes this is a clear signal that the player is about to make another move.

« Absolutely, » he told Football Insider. “We’ve seen it before with players who have swapped agents. There’s a reason a player swaps an agent.

“I’m still with the same agent I was when I started the game. The only reason you would trade agents is if you are not satisfied with them. If they aren’t doing what you ask them to do, it could possibly be that he wanted to move in the summer. ”

Leeds turned down a £ 10m offer from Rangers this summer after it was revealed that Kent has a £ 20m release clause.

Marcelo Bielsa is a well-known admirer who saw him play for Liverpool in a friendly against Bradford City. That was ahead of the 2019-20 campaign and the Argentine may try again in January.

Phillips believes there is every chance Leeds will lure him to Elland Road in the New Year.

« I’m just guessing, but without a fire there is never smoke, » he added. “There’s always a reason a player changes agents. So I wouldn’t be surprised if something happened in Leeds or elsewhere in the January window.
