Key Highlights :
     The Scottish Premiership title-winner Ryan Kent recently signed a four-year deal with the Turkish club Fenerbahce and revealed that his former Rangers teammate Ridvan Yilmaz gave him the lowdown on Turkish football before deciding to make the switch. Kent, 26, made his Turkish footballing berth this week during a pre-season friendly in Russia against Zenit St Petersburg, playing 83 minutes before being substituted off.
     Before agreeing to sign for Fenerbahce, Kent sought advice from Rangers' £5.3 million full-back Yilmaz, who had previously played for Besiktas in the league. Kent revealed that he spoke to Yilmaz before deciding to sign for Fenerbahce but he didn't want anyone to influence his decision. He already knew about the size of Fenerbahce and the most important factor for him was that the club always plays to win and the huge ambition they have.
     The winger is also excited to line up with former Manchester City and Roma forward Edin Dzeko and Fenerbahce. He is looking forward to learning from Dzeko and can't wait to get started in the league and to play in Istanbul derbies. Kent said that these kinds of matches are special games and regardless of the conditions, you want to win these matches.
     Kent is one of the many players to have made the switch to Turkish football in recent years, with the likes of Steven N'Zonzi, Papiss Cisse, and Florin Andone all making the move. Turkish football has seen a huge surge in popularity in recent years, with the Turkish Super Lig becoming one of the most competitive leagues in Europe.
     The move to Fenerbahce is a huge opportunity for Kent and a chance to further his career. He will be playing alongside some of the best players in the world and will be looking to make an impact in the Turkish Super Lig. With the help of his former teammate Yilmaz, Kent will be hoping to make a big impression in Turkey and prove his worth.
