Leeds United Sources Dismiss Expected Transfer Link, No Interest Confirmed – Report
Leeds United Linked Again with Fenerbahce Winger Ryan Kent, But Elland Road Shows No Interest
Daniel Farke’s efforts to find a replacement for Crysencio Summerville are set to intensify as the season approaches.
It would be wise for Leeds to secure versatile options before the August 30 deadline to ensure their attacking lineup is more balanced than last season’s.
According to Turkish outlet Haber Ekspres, Leeds have rekindled their interest in signing winger Ryan Kent, currently with Fenerbahce.
The 27-year-old has been frequently linked with a move to Elland Road since Marcelo Bielsa’s tenure from 2018 to 2022.
Kent has fallen out of favor under Jose Mourinho and is likely to be transferred if Fenerbahce can find a buyer.
This connection is unsurprising to Leeds fans, as Kent has been a perennial target for the club regardless of ownership, management, or specific needs in the transfer market.
However, LeedsLive has dismissed any current interest in Kent, stating: “Sources at United have been keen to kill online chatter about transfer interest in Ryan Kent.
The 27-year-old has been perennially linked to Leeds, but there has been no interest in taking the winger on for years.”
Kent barely played for Fenerbahce last season and struggled to perform when he did, raising immediate concerns.
Additionally, he hasn’t been in top form for several years, dating back to his time at Ibrox where he was a key creator.
At 27, it seems Kent’s best years are behind him, and there are better options available for Leeds, including Jonathan Rowe.
As Leeds seeks to strengthen their squad, focusing on players with more recent success and potential may be a more strategic approach.
