Campbell issues ‘big’ Rangers claim after source’s Ryan Kent update
Kevin Campbell has claimed Rangers will have “a big decision” on their hands in January regarding Ryan Kent’s future.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Arsenal and Everton striker expects the club will do their best to cash in on the 25-year-old to avoid losing him on a free.
Kent‘s contract at Ibrox expires at the end of May 2023.
Sources told Football Insider last week (5 November) that Fulham are keeping close tabs on the winger with a view to a move in the new year.
Premier League clubs will be free to speak to Kent regarding a pre-contract agreement from January, as will foreign sides.
When asked by Football Insider if it was best for all parties concerned if Kent left in the January transfer window, Campbell said: “Rangers cannot afford to let him go for free.
“Let’s be honest though, it is all but out of their hands.
“I think they will do everything they can to do business in January given that his contract is up at the end of the season.
“Kent is one of, if not the best player at the club. A big decision will have to be made.
“Of course they could go the other way and try and make the most of him while he is in the building. Will they gamble on keeping him in the hope that he helps them win something?“
