Newly promoted Ipswich Town have beaten Leeds United to Fenerbahçe winger Ryan Kent. The Whites had shown interest in the winger in the hopes of replacing the departing Crysencio Summerville.

The West Yorkshire outfit has seen many top players leave Elland Road this summer. This is because the club failed to win a promotion last season.

After getting relegated in the 2022/23 season, The 49ers were keen on getting back into the Premier League next season. Although Leeds didn’t secure a direct promotion, they did win a place in the promotion playoffs though.

United even reached the finals but lost 0-1 to Southampton. The Whites had hoped to gain promotion but didn’t foresee this conclusion to the 2023/24 season.

The 49ers are now stuck in the second tier where they’ll need to follow the EFL’s PSR. In order to be in check, the club was forced to sell many players and also send a few on loan.

The biggest loss was Crysencio Summerville to West Ham United. He was the best player in the league last season winning the Championship Player of the Season award.

Leeds United are now in search of a replacement hoping the alternative will replicate the Dutchman’s performances. One of the replacements on The 49ers’ radar was Ryant Kent
