Steven Gerrard willing to wait on Liverpool decision

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard says he will wait until the very last moment of the transfer window in the hope of re-signing Liverpool winger Ryan Kent.

The highly-rated 22-year-old impressed North of the Border during his season-long loan last term and Gerrard is desperately hoping to recruit him again. Liverpool, however, are yet to make a decision on Kent who has impressed so far during pre-season.

Gerrard said: “Am I willing to wait until the last day of the window for Kent? I’m willing to wait until the last second. I’ll give it to the very last second to get Ryan back here. He’s an exception because he was outstanding last year.

“I feel he’s ready to go again, with the confidence he should have from last season. But we’re still talking about a player who belongs to Liverpool. They’ll make the decision on him and we’ll be totally respectful to the club and Jurgen Klopp.

“Everyone knows I want him back and I’ll give it until the last second. But if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen.

“The truth is we want him back. I haven’t spoken to him for a while, so we’ll wait patiently to see if he wants to come back and respect Liverpool’s decision.”
