3 Ryan Kent Burnley transfer factors amid Rangers winger 'interest' as Kompany bullish despite signing embargo

Of all Rangers' looming free agents it always felt Ryan Kent was the leading candidate to pen fresh terms at Ibrox.

But no deal, as of yet, has materialised for the winger who joined Rangers in a £7million deal in 2019 fresh off an impressive loan stay from Liverpool. Filip Helander, Alfredo Morelos, Steven Davis and Ryan Jack are in the same boat as Kent with Allan McGregor set to decide on what comes next too.

But amid the uncertainty Burnley are keen to step up their interest in the wide man. Kent missed the 5-2 win over St Mirren but he is likely to return soon and the Clarets will likely be in attendance when he does – reports The Sun. Vincent Kompany's side are heading back to the English Premier League and have succeeded playing a brand of football which has even left neutral observers impressed.

Record Sport looks at the key factors that need addressed if a move to take Kent back down south comes off.

Burnley have big plans but they are very much dependent on the current transfer embargo they are currently dealing with over submitting their annual accounts late. Their boss is confident it will be quickly resolved to allow his side to go shopping when the window opens. Kompany, speaking to the assembled media on Friday, said: "We couldn’t do a transfer now if we wanted to anyway, so my understanding is it was an administrative error and that is being rectified. We’re on track. We’ve got everything lined up to do what we want to do and we’re not concerned about it for the summer.”

Everything lined up is a key line there and suggests Kompany knows exactly what he wants from this window.
