Vincent Kompany wants former Liverpool star to be his first signing after sealing Premier League promotion with Burnley | The Sun

BURNLEY will check on Rangers contract rebel Ryan Kent before his contract runs out.

The former Liverpool kid looks set to head back to English football in the summer and Vincent Kompany’s men are taking an interest.


Kent, 26, would have to fight for a place in the Clarets side in the Premier League as Kompany already has Moroccan magician Anass Zaroury in that position.

But Kent is a top free agent and the chance to play at the top level would appeal to him after missing out on a move to Leeds a couple of times.

Winger Kent has appeared 29 times in the Scottish Premiership this season.

He has contributed 10 assists and added three goals to his tally.

Kent was also a crucial part of Steven Gerrard's Gers side which won the league in 2021, contributing to 17 goals in 33 games that campaign.

The Englishman came through Liverpool's youth ranks but made just one appearances in the senior team after five loan moves.

He eventually sealed a permanent transfer up to the Ibrox Stadium in 2019.

However, despite Burnley's interest, Rangers fans believe Nottingham Forest could be his next destination instead.

This is due to the departure of Sporting Director Ross Wilson, who joined the Prem relegation battlers after four years in Glasgow.

It has also led them to believe fellow free agent Alfredo Morelos will follow suit and head to the City Ground.
