LEEDS are making a surprise £10million bid for Rangers winger Ryan Kent.

Marcelo Bielsa wants the wide man and hopes to make it third time lucky after he twice tried to sign him when he was at Liverpool.

Kent was voted the best young player in Scotland last season and stayed on in Glasgow despite interest abroad.

However, Premier League new-boys Leeds hope to agree a fee with Rangers for him this week and talk the player into joining their squad.

Kent is settled in Glasgow, but the decision will come down to whether Rangers accept the official offer.

Steven Gerrard’s side have so far fended off interest in Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos from French side Lille.

They are only willing sell their players for big money.

Leeds may therefore have to pay more for Kent to make a deal happen.

But the Elland Road side are desperate with Bielsa ordering a host of new faces be signed.

Kent has had several clubs in England on loan spells in the past, including Coventry, Barnsley and Bristol City.

His dream has always been to crack it in the Premier League down south and this may be his best opportunity.
