Rangers are hoping to beat Club Brugge to the £6 million ($7.2m) signing of Liverpool winger Ryan Kent before Monday’s transfer deadline.
The Scottish giants are ready to meet the Reds’ asking price for the 22-year-old, who has been desperate to make a return to Ibrox this summer.
Kent starred on loan with Rangers last season, making 43 appearances and winning the Scottish Young Player of the Year award for his performances.
A host of clubs – Rangers included – were keen to take the wideman on loan during this transfer window, but Liverpool made it clear to the player that a temporary move, which would have been the sixth of his career, would be of no benefit.
