GARY MCALLISTER reckons Rangers star Ryan Kent will have caught the eye of England boss Gareth Southgate this term.
The 23-year-old netted his fifth goal of the campaign as he was instrumental in the victory over Willem II on Thursday night.
Kent was the subject of a £10million bid from Leeds United earlier in the transfer window and Ibrox assistant McAllister believes his fine form won't have gone unnoticed at Wembley.
McAllister said: "I'd agree that he is very exciting at the moment and playing with a lot of confidence.
"What I would say is that when he's performing the way he did against a team from Holland - Willem II are a good side who are in the Europa League on merit - then he must be getting close.
"There is a push towards younger players with the England set-up under Gareth Southgate.
"And Ryan is exciting. I don't want to be shouting from the rooftops but there is a player here who is in really good form."

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
