AdminFormer Rangers winger Ryan Kent is reportedly close to signing with Iranian club Persepolis, and it’s not just the prospect of playing in the Middle East that’s convinced him to make the move. According to Turkish outlet AS Marca, Kent has reached an agreement with Persepolis manager Ismail Kartal, who he previously worked with at Fenerbahce. However, the key factor in Kent’s decision is said to be Iran’s laws on keeping exotic pets, particularly pet crocodiles.
Kent is known to be an animal lover and has a collection of exotic pets, including snakes and crocodiles. In fact, he was famous during his time at Rangers for keeping pet snakes, and even bought one as a Secret Santa present for a teammate. However, it’s his pet crocodiles that are said to be the main reason for his move to Iran. The country’s laws allow individuals to keep crocodiles as pets, which is apparently a major draw for Kent.
Persepolis and Kartal are said to have agreed to allow Kent to keep his pet crocodiles at his home, which was a major factor in his decision to join the club. The move is seen as a surprise, given Kent’s history in Turkey and his previous connections with Rangers. However, it appears that Kent’s love of exotic pets has taken priority, and he is willing to make a move to a new country in order to care for his animals.
It’s worth noting that Kent has previously advertised for a keeper to look after his pet crocodiles, and it’s clear that he is passionate about his hobby. While a return to Rangers had been rumored, it seems that Kent’s priorities lie elsewhere, and he is set to embark on a new adventure in Iran with his pet crocodiles by his side.
