Liverpool midfielder Ryan Kent retains hope of joining Rangers.

Sky Sports says Kent is keeping his options open, despite having his heart set on a return to Rangers.

The 22-year-old is keen to leave Liverpool before the close of the European transfer window and has also attracted interest from clubs in France and Belgium.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard wants to bring Kent back to the club and following the 1-0 victory over St Mirren on Sunday he insisted he was not giving up on a deal.

Kent made 27 league appearances last season, scoring six goals and providing four assist as Rangers finished in second place.
