Fulham are in hot pursuit of Liverpool attacker Ryan Kent, according to transfer expert Alan Nixon.
The reliable journalist claimed via his personal Twitter account on Sunday that the Reds may look to cash in on the 22-year-old once his loan spell at Rangers expires at the end of the season.
FULHAM. Big interest in Ryan Kent. LIVERPOOL may sell after RANGERS loan spell. FULHAM also short listing Steve Clarke for boss job.

Kent has been in red-hot form at Ibrox this term, scoring five goals and supplying nine assists in 37 appearances across all competitions for Steven Gerrard’s side.
OPINION
Fulham have spent a lot of money since their promotion to the Premier League, but it looks as though the big-spenders are set to return to the Championship despite their £100million splurge last summer. Unfortunately for Liverpool, that might mean that they are harder to negotiate with. It is clear that Kent will never be good enough to break into the Reds’ first team. He has had a great season at Ibrox, but the Scottish Premiership seems like it is his level, which means he has no hope of getting into a side containing the likes of Sadio Mane. He would be a good signing for any club in the Championship but Rangers should look to try and sign the winger permanently in the summer if they can. They might also be a pain to negotiate with, but Kent will surely be more interested in joining them permanently than Fulham, who are going to have to work hard in the summer to offload all the flops they bought last year.
