Leicester City FC is reportedly leading the race to sign former Rangers winger Ryan Kent on a free transfer. The 27-year-old Englishman, who is currently without a club after leaving Fenerbahçe, has attracted interest from several Championship clubs. However, it is Leicester who appear to be the frontrunners for his signature.
Kent, known for his pace, dribbling, and creativity, has been a standout performer in Scotland, where he helped Rangers win the Scottish Premiership title in 2021. His form at Rangers earned him a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahçe last season, but his time in Turkey was short-lived, with the winger leaving by mutual consent after limited appearances.
Leicester, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are looking to strengthen their squad as they push for an immediate return to the top flight. With manager Enzo Maresca keen to add more attacking options to his side, Kent’s availability presents an ideal opportunity to boost the Foxes’ promotion ambitions.
The addition of Ryan Kent would bring proven quality and Championship experience to Leicester’s squad, and his versatility in wide areas could make him a key figure as they look to climb back to the Premier League. An official announcement is expected in the coming days if the deal is completed.
