Leeds United backed to snap up free agent attacker after shock transfer enquiry emerges
Leeds United have been tipped as the right choice for free agent winger Ryan Kent despite a “shock” move being targeted by Leyton Orient, by Carlton Palmer.
The former Whites midfielder told Football League World on 29 October that Elland Road would be a good move for the 27-year-old after he was released from his unsuccessful spell at Fenerbahce just over a year into a four-year deal.
As soon as he came available Rangers boss Philippe Clement was asked about a possible return to Ibrox [BBC Sport, 18 October], while the Daily Mail reported on 22 October that there is interest from Saudi Arabia.
But according to the Scottish Sun on 26 October, while the Whites are “long-time admirers”, League One Leyton Orient are now enquiring over a possible deal.
Palmer said: “It’s been reported that Leyton Orient are weighing up a shock move for Ryan Kent on a free transfer. Listen, it’s one of those. Sometimes a player goes somewhere and things don’t work out. Kent joined Turkish club Fenerbache, but the 27-year-old winger – who was on a four-year contract – had his contract ripped up.
