Former Rangers striker\u00a0Kyle Lafferty believes deadline day signing\u00a0Ryan Kent could reach the levels of\u00a0Eden Hazard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kent completed a \u00a37m move to\u00a0Ibrox from Liverpool on Monday having spent last season on loan in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Could Kent reach Hazard’s heights? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Ryan Kent spent the 2018\/19 season on loan with Rangers, scoring six goals and registering nine assists.<\/li>\n
  • His exploits out wide earned him a place in the\u00a0PFA Scotland Team of the Year.<\/li>\n
  • He also won Rangers’ and the PFA’s Young Player of the Year accolades.<\/li>\n
  • Jurgen Klopp blocked sending Kent out on loan again earlier this summer and he featured heavily in pre-season.<\/li>\n
  • However, Rangers have now landed their man and Lafferty has earmarked him for Galactico heights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Such was his impact during his season-long sojourn with the\u00a0Teddy Bears that the 22-year-old clinched the club’s Young Player of the Year gong, as well as being named in the\u00a0PFA Scotland Team of the Year.<\/p>\n

    And\u00a0Lafferty, who spent the previous campaign in Steven Gerrard’s squad alongside the ex-Liverpool winger, believes his former colleague has all the requisite attributes to emulate Hazard.<\/p>\n

    He said<\/a>: \u201cAfter one game last season I spoke to Ryan in the showers. People were raving about Eden Hazard and his ability to know what he\u2019s going to do before the ball comes to him.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI said to Kenty, \u2018Mate, you could be as good as him, if not better.\u2019<\/p>\n

    \u201cHe has everything in his locker. He could probably add a few more goals but the chances he creates and winning games is what he does. I\u2019m excited already to see him play.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s crazy to think he\u2019s back. This is the biggest and most significant signing of the season.”<\/p>\n
