Liverpool will make a late decision on whether to loan out winger Ryan Kent on deadline day.

The 20-year-old is keen to play regular first-team football in order to boost his development after a successful pre-season for the Reds when he was rewarded with a new long-term contract.

However, Jurgen Klopp has yet to sanction a loan and Kent's departure is likely to hinge on whether there are any incomings at Anfield.

If Kent does leave then Liverpool will demand a £1million loan fee.

Hannover 96 were the front-runners to sign him but with Liverpool wanting to keep their options open until today, the Bundesliga outfit have now ended their interest.

Sporting director Horst Heldt said: "He does not come, we do not do anything. (Ihlas) Bebou is our last transfer."

There are plenty of other loan offers for Kent on the table.

He's wanted by a host of Championship clubs including Sunderland and Middlesbrough, as well as German side SC Freiburg.

Kent spent last season on loan at Barnsley.
