Exiled former Mourinho protégé could end up in the Championship

English winger Ryan Kent’s recent spell at Fenerbahçe has been far from smooth. After struggling to make an impact, he was released by the club's new manager, José Mourinho. However, Kent may not be a free agent for long, as several English clubs have expressed interest.

Details: According to Football Insider, the 27-year-old winger is drawing attention from Leeds United. Notably, the club’s interest dates back to Marcelo Bielsa’s tenure as head coach. Leeds could acquire Kent on a free transfer, which adds to his appeal as an option for bolstering their attack.

Reminder: Kent fell out of favor at Fenerbahçe after refusing a transfer to Lazio last winter. The deal was nearly completed, but the winger blocked the move at the last minute. Since then, he was effectively sidelined under the previous manager, İsmail Kartal, and ultimately excluded under Mourinho’s management.
