Rangers “in pole position” to sign Villa target Kent says Gary McAllister

Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister has revealed that he believes Rangers are in pole position to sign Ryan Kent, if Liverpool send him out on loan again.

Kent, who has been linked with a move to Villa Park, is now back at Liverpool, and looks likely to leave Anfield on a permanent deal.

Liverpool have slapped a £12 million price tag on Kent, which is affordable to Villa, but a big stumbling block to Leeds and Rangers.

However, Gary McAllister has revealed he believes the winger could return to Ibrox.

Steven Gerrard’s assistant at Rangers said, via Bristol Live:

It is ongoing, but the decisions at Liverpool will probably be later down the line. Is he worth the wait? I would say so.

    He has got a rapport with the fans and there is no doubt he enjoyed his time here.

    That’s on the pitch, in and around the training ground and the city as well – he enjoyed Glasgow.

    We have to be aware that Liverpool might receive bids, but you don’t know.

    If Ryan is to go back out on loan again, I think we’d be first in line.

    Kent scored six goals and assisted four in Scotland, but flopped with Bristol City in his last English loan spell.
