“He does a lot of work that people probably don’t notice in terms of blocking lines and being in the right place in regaining the ball.
“He’s aggressive as a winger, which is rare. I’m a huge fan of Ryan Kent. He can go again, for sure, and it’s imperative that we keep him at this football club if we stay true to what we all want, which is success.”
The English winger was magnificent against Aberdeen last weekend as he scored a goal and bagged an assist in the 4-0 win.
He also showed some of the aspects of his game that Gerrard has spoken about as, according to Wyscout, he won 100% of his defensive duels against the Dons.
This has been a key part of Kent’s game this season as he also won 100% of his defensive duels against Benfica when the Gers travelled to Estadio da Luz in early November.
The 24-year-old is becoming a more complete winger as he is impressing in front of goal but also putting the work in to make sure his side don’t concede.
It is obvious that kent is a key player for Rangers at the moment but more credit should be paid to the work he does off the ball as well on it.
