Everton keen to secure summer deal for Rangers winger Ryan Kent
Everton are showing keen interest in signing Ryan Kent from Rangers in the summer, according to 90 Min.
The report claims that a host of clubs including Leeds United, Wolves, and newly promoted Fulham are also in the race for his signature.
Various clubs from the Bundesliga have also expressed an interest in the 25-year-old winger, including RB Leipzig.
Bargain
Kent could be available at a bargain price in the summer.
The dazzling winger, who impressed in the Europa League campaign for Rangers this season, will enter the final 12 months of his deal next summer.
While the Gers don’t want to lose him, his contract situation could force them into selling, that too on a cut-price deal.
The former Liverpool player has resurrected his career in Scotland and he is one of the key players for Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Frank Lampard is expected to undergo a massive rebuilding process in the summer, irrespective of where the club finish at the end of the season and may consider Kent as the right fit for the club.
The Toffees need to bolster their attacking department and Kent would be a decent signing for the club.
If they manage to get him on board, he will become the second player to them within a space of 12 months, after Nathan Patterson moved to Goodison Park from Ibrox in January.
