Gio Van Bronckhorst insists keeping Ryan Kent at Rangers is now top of his wish list after kicking off contract talks with the attacker. The Gers boss is already close to extending deals for captain James Tavernier and striker Alfredo Morelos.
And on the eve of the new Premiership season he revealed Kent is also now in discussions with the club over new terms having moved in to the final year of his current contract. Van Bronckhorst is optimistic his star men will stick around – as the lure of fighting for glory at home and in Europe will be too strong to turn down.
The Ibrox gaffer said: “We know the quality both Morelos and Kent bring to the team. They have been part of the squad for many years now. Ryan’s qualities are on a high level. Talks with him to extend his contrast are also happening at the moment. It’s the same with Alfredo.
