Report: Leeds eye Glen Kamara and Ryan Kent

Leeds United are weighing up trying to sign both Glen Kamara and Ryan Kent from Rangers during the summer transfer window, according to a report from Give Me Sport.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been busy in the last few weeks. However, Junior Firpo is the only new addition who is likely to feature in the first-team from the opening stages of the coming campaign.

Jack Harrison’s loan has been made permanent. Meanwhile, Kristoffer Klaesson has arrived as cover for Illan Meslier.

So further first-team additions are surely likely. And judging by the latest reports, two of their targets could come from Ibrox.

According to Give Me Sport, Leeds are interested in both Kent and Kamara.

The Whites have previously seen a £10 million bid for Kent turned down. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail claimed in June that the Gers would want more than that price for Kamara.

Leeds landing Kent and Kamara would be two superb pieces of business

The pair would arguably be two very exciting additions to Leeds’s ranks.

Kent, in particular, looks to be a player that Bielsa would relish working with.

He is a busy, tricky attacking player who can feature almost anywhere in the final third. And, of course, he certainly has a piece of magic up his sleeve.

But someone like Kamara was just as influential in Rangers’s title-win last season.

The Finland international has been a revelation at Ibrox. And Leeds do appear to need further depth in the middle of the park.

Rangers surely unlikely to let both players leave

Steven Gerrard will be desperate to keep both men. Rangers have a potential Champions League campaign to look forward to this season.

And their title defence is off to a very strong start.

Perhaps they may be willing to listen to offers for one of their key men this summer.

But it is hard to imagine the Gers making it easy for Leeds to land either target – even if the Whites are willing to make a huge offer.
