Regarding Ryan Kent, a winger, possibly returning to the Rangers, Philippe Clement has sidestepped questions.
The 27-year-old Englishman signed with Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce after leaving Ibrox at the conclusion of the previous campaign. However, he hasn’t had much playing time there this season, which has led to rumours that the Gers might act swiftly in January to finalise a loan agreement for their former playmaker.
Ahead of this weekend’s match against Aberdeen, Clement met with the media this afternoon. He was not in the mood to discuss or speculate on transfer rumours, so he quickly sidestepped the question and stated that it is one aspect of his job that he will not discuss in public.
“I can make one very important statement: for the ensuing few months, I will never engage with rumours. Going into rumours is pointless; I’ll only talk about the players inside this building’, he declared.
I have played football for over 30 years, and in that time, a lot can happen before a player enters or exits a building. Talking to me about rumours is pointless. I can only speak when necessary, and this isn’t about this case (Kent).” I want to make that very clear. Simply put, for the upcoming two months of December and January.
