During the January transfer window, Ryan Kent was once more connected to Leeds United; however, he chose to remain at Fenerbahce following a disastrous deadline day where he rejected down a move to Burnley.
The 27-year-old Kent had to quit Fener last month after being linked to Leeds, Rangers, Bournemouth, Forest, and Sheffield United. He joined there last summer but has failed to get playing time, making only one League start since.
However, Kent didn’t appear to be on his way until the very last minutes of the window. Both a transfer to Dinamo Zagreb and links with a £3.5 million move to Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq came and went.
Then, in what appeared to be a great move for the English winger, it appeared as though he was heading to Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio on deadline day. However, at the last minute, it was abandoned. Team Talk clarified a few things.
Ryan Kent, a target for Leeds, declined Burnley on deadline day.
They even claim that on transfer deadline day, Kent turned down a chance to play in the Premier League and was considering a move to Lazio. However, Lazio collapsed, leaving Kent in a precarious situation.
Kent intended to go permanently, but the transfer to Burnley was only a loan arrangement. Moving to Turf Moor was therefore out of the question, but Kent will now be kicking himself for that choice. It is true that he allegedly joined FIFA.
Due to underpaid salaries and being kept out of Fener’s team, Fotomac has said that he would be reporting Fener to FIFA. It is accurate to state that his relocation to Turkey was a total failure. Kent will be itching to get away as quickly as possible.
