Ryan Kent joins Fenerbahce after leaving Rangers | OneFootball

Fenerbahce have announced that Ryan Kent has joined them after he left Rangers at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old attacking midfielder was released by the Scottish Premiership club after his contract expired.

Kent joined Rangers from Liverpool in 2019 for £6.5 million after a successful loan spell at the Ibrox club.

He ended his time with the Light Blues with 33 goals and 56 assists in 218 appearances, winning the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup.

Kent was regularly linked with a return to the Premier League but has moved to the Turkish Super Lig on a four-year deal.

Fenerbahce won the Turkish Cup this term and will be aiming to qualify for the group stage of the Europa League next term after finishing second in the league.

Kent has experience playing European qualifiers with Rangers, which will be useful at his new club.

The former England youth international will be keen to prove himself in Turkey, and he could earn another big move if he ends up impressing.

Kent did not fulfil his potential at Rangers despite the flashes he showed.

The Liverpool academy graduate made just one first-team appearance for the Reds, spending time on loan at Coventry City, Barnsley, SC Freiburg and Bristol City.

He was tipped by many people to become a regular for Liverpool, but things have not gone as expected.

Rangers opted against handing him an extension and may have regretted not selling him when they had the chance.

Leeds United were linked with an interest in Kent several times, but former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard held on to him.
