Ryan Kent release clause addressed as Rangers boss Steven Gerrard fights to keep Leeds at bay

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Ryan Kent 's future could be "taken out" of his hands as determined Leeds United aim to tempt him to the Premier League. The Liverpool icon admits he is desperate to keep hold of the player he signed in a £7m deal from the Anfield side last summer.

And Gerrard also refused to be drawn on whether or not the 23-year-old winger's Ibrox terms has a release clause inserted. He said: "Every player has different things in their contracts, that's just the way it is." The 40-year-old is adamant he wants the Englishman to remain with Rangers as they aim to deny rivals Celtic a 10th consecutive title.

But Gerrard concedes the final say could come at boardroom level after an initial offer believed to be £8m rising to £10m was turfed out.
