Reds man could be set to get his move as transfer merry-go-round ensues

Reds winger Ryan Kent could be about to seal a move away from Anfield, according to Football Insider.

With Leeds United set to lose Kemar Roofe to Vincent Kompany’s Anderlecht, the Yorkshire club are in the hunt for replacements, with an offer for Kent reportedly ‘imminent’.

The deal that the club are about to offer is believed to be a loan-to-buy transfer. Kent is valued at around £10 million, but the Reds might take a loan with an option of it becoming permanent in a year given there has seemingly been a lack of interest in him so far this summer.

Rangers were also thought to want Kent having had him on loan last year, but cannot afford the transfer fee it would take for the Reds to let him go.

Heading to Leeds seems like a good idea, though replacing Roofe – a central striker – with Kent is hardly like-for-like. Marcelo Bielsa will have a plan if Leeds are interested, and he’d be a good manager for Kent to develop under.
