RANGERS star Ryan Kent has been told to "buck up his ideas" or his next move could be the English Championship.

Former Aston Villa star Gabby Agbonlahor has warned the Gers attacker that he needs to improve his current form is a switch to the Premier League is to be on the cards.

Former Liverpool winger Kent is out of contract come the end of this season.

Talks are said to have been ongoing regarding a fresh deal, but no announcement has been made as of yet.

As things stand, he will be free to talk to clubs come January as he enters the final six-months of his deal. 

And Agbonlahor reckons he form hasn't been up to the standard to tempt some big clubs to make a move.

He told Football Insider: “To be honest, if you’re not ripping up trees in the SPFL then no big club is going to look at you at all.

“If he doesn’t buck up his ideas and start performing it’s going to affect his next move.

“He might be looking at the Premier League and end up in the Championship. He has to definitely start performing.

"When I’ve watched him recently he hasn’t looked like the Ryan Kent I saw last year. He’s got to improve, definitely.”
