It sounds like Liverpool want to keep Rangers loanee Ryan Kent long-term

Rangers fans have been enjoying the form of Ryan Kent so far this season. The Liverpool loanee has put in a string of good performances and Steven Gerrard’s connections have helped Rangers enjoy his presence at Ibrox.

The hope, clearly, is that Kent might be at Rangers in the long-term. As reported by the Daily Record, Kent is open to such a move and he would reportedly cost around £2 million.

However, the words of Liverpool academy director Alex Inglethorpe will be a concern for those hopes.

He has confirmed that the Melwood youngster is due a first-team ‘audition’ at Liverpool in the near future, along with Derby County winger Harry Wilson.

“Now he’s playing at Ibrox in front of 50,000 passionate Rangers fans and that presents a different challenge. You get a lot more of the ball and there’s a bigger emphasis on how he breaks down defences and how he attacks.

“It’s been a really positive season so far for Harry and Ryan. I’m not suggesting they are going to be automatic first-team players but it looks like they are at least warranting an audition at some stage. They have done themselves no harm.”

Rangers fans will be gutted if they lose Kent in the summer.

The young attacker has quickly won over the fans in Glasgow and can play in a number of attacking positions.

He played a key role in the 1-0 Old Firm derby win recently and the hope he could arrive permanently has had Rangers fans excited.

It looks as though fans at Ibrox, as well as Steven Gerrard, will just have to enjoy him while they have him.
