Aston Villa fans urge Steven Gerrard to beat Leeds and sign £15m talent, once said labelled himself a ‘huge fan’

Aston Villa are reportedly looking at four Rangers players and one of them is winger Ryan Kent – prompting reaction from Villa fans on Twitter.

Kent, 25, is about to enter the last 18 months of his contract at Rangers. The winger penned a four-year deal after permanently joining in 2019.

It has opened up the possibility of his exit at Ibrox in the coming months. 90Min report he was one of four players Gerrard wants at new side Villa.

Little surprise. Initially signing Kent on loan from Liverpool, Kent has since gone on to have a hand in 61 goals during his 139 appearances for the Gers.

While a move in January might be unlikely, Gerrard is said to have an interest in the man he bought for £7million from his old club Liverpool.

Last summer, labelled Kent a long-term target for Leeds and Marcelo Bielsa – said Rangers would want £18million.

What are Villa fans saying about Rangers star and Leeds target Kent?

Villa sold Jack Grealish in the summer, and while they brought in Emi Buendia and Leon Bailey – they are yet to really see his influence replaced.

Of course, moving Dean Smith on as well as Grealish feels like Villa have entered a new era. Villa also have Anwar El Ghazi and Bertrand Traore.

But Kent is capable of magic. Goals from long range, crucial moments of genius, skill, vision, and the ability to change a game on it’s head.

Gerrard knows this. He will also know for £18million, it is a deal worth doing. Villa fans want Rangers star Kent signed, before Leeds.
