Leeds Reignite Interest in Fenerbahce Winger Kent

Leeds United are set to renew their interest in winger Ryan Kent, with the Fenerbahce player on their shortlist for the summer transfer window according to Haber Expres.

The Whites have been linked with the 27-year-old for several years, with Marcelo Bielsa previously showing interest in the former Rangers star.

Despite Kent’s struggles for regular playing time at Fenerbahce last season, Leeds are considering a £2.5 million bid for the winger. The Turkish club are open to selling, with manager Jose Mourinho looking to reshape his squad.

Kent was used as a rotation player last season playing 10 times in Fenerbahce’s Europa Conference League campaign and just eight times in the Super Lig, scoring once and providing two assists in all competitions.

Mourinho has given the green light for Kent to leave this summer and the board are unlikely to veto a transfer move if the winger wants to leave.

Fenerbahce are in the middle of a squad rebuild under newly appointed manager Mourinho and as things stand he does not have plans for the Scotland international.

Kent is a versatile attacking player who can play on the wing – his main position – and in midfield. His versatility makes him a useful squad player.

With Leeds aiming to strengthen their attacking options, Kent could provide additional depth and versatility. However, the club must weigh up the potential benefits of the transfer against the need for more impactful signings.
