Along with Gray, Leeds have also lost Rasmus Kristensen, Luis Sinisterra and Marc Roca. Junior Firpo is also in talks with Real Betis.

However, looking to reinvest the funds they’ve already raised, which top £70 million, Leeds’ hierarchy are preparing to make at least one top Premier League signing.

Crystal Palace youngster Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is thought to be Farke’s top target (Daily Mail).

The 21-year-old is also wanted by other clubs, but Leeds’ strong interest sees them among the favourites for the attacker’s signature.

Spending last season on loan with Charlton, the young right winger enjoyed an excellent individual campaign. Rak-Sakyi scored 15 goals and registered nine assists in 49 games in all competitions. He has since returned to Selhurst Park but is expected to move again before the start of the season.

Crystal Palace could lose highly-rated 21-year-old to Southampton this summer

Southampton have enquired about Crystal Palace talent Jesurun Rak-Sakyi ahead of the new season as the Eagles consider allowing the 21-year-old to leave Selhurst Park.

The winger’s future is up in the air at present as several clubs in England monitor his situation at Palace.

According to the Patreon of journalist Alan Nixon, newly promoted Premier League outfit Southampton have made a shock inquiry to sign Rak-Sakyi. The Saints have asked for the winger on loan for the upcoming season but it remains to be seen if the London club will go for that as they will not want to loan players to an English top-flight rival.

If Southampton are to lure the player away from Selhurst Park, it will need to be some sort of sale. Whether that be a permanent transfer or a loan with a buy option attached to it.

Crystal Palace will not want to lose the highly-rated talent but coming off the back of a poor season, which was packed with injuries, it seems the Eagles are considering a sale.

Crystal Palace should give Jesurun Rak-Sakyi another chance

With Michael Olise leaving Crystal Palace this summer, Oliver Glasner should put some faith in Rak-Sakyi as the 21-year-old has the potential to be a top talent.

A hamstring injury destroyed his 2023/24 campaign and the youngster will want to prove himself off the back of it. The winger has a contract at Selhurst Park until 2027, therefore, the Eagles are in no rush to sell him.

Should things not work out during the upcoming campaign, then it is fair should Palace decide to move on from Rak-Sakyi, but it would be smarter for the Premier League club to give the player another chance.

21-year-old Crystal Palace star out of favour with Oliver Glasner

Darren Looney — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:36:19 +0000

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi will have to bide his time at Crystal Palace as the youngster is nowhere near the starting 11 at Selhurst Park at present

The 21-year-old was handed 130 minutes of senior team action this season by former Palace manager Roy Hodgson but the winger has not got a look in since Oliver Glasner has been in charge.

The Austrian coach has steered Crystal Palace away from the Premier League’s relegation zone in recent weeks with wins over Liverpool and West Ham. That has coincided with the return of star man Michael Olise who played a big part in the 5-2 over the Hammers last weekend.

The winger is a certain starter at Selhurst Park alongside Eberechi Eze and Mateta. Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp are Glasner’s backup options, which leaves little room for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

When asked about the 21-year-old’s chances of playing at his press conference on Tuesday, Glasner responded by indicating that Rak-Sakyi is pretty far down the pecking order.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi will need to be patient at Crystal Palace

“The situation is that we all agree with Eze, Olise and Mateta, it’s three amazing players in a really good shape,” Glasner said.

“Ebs scores goals. JP scores goals. Michael scores goals and gets assists.

“With Jeffrey Schlupp, Jordan Ayew and Odsonne Edouard, we have three players who could start every game because they also deserve it with their quality and talent.

“It’s maybe now a tough moment for Jes.”

West Ham rival Premier League clubs for transfer of Crystal Palace wonderkid

Magnus Eriksen — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 12:57:53 +0000

West Ham are reportedly among the clubs leading the chase for the transfer of in-demand Crystal Palace wonderkid Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

The talented 18-year-old looks to be a huge prospect and it looks like he won’t be sticking around at Palace for much longer as a long list of clubs eye up a deal.

West Ham are among those working to sign Rak-Sakyi, but they could also face competition from Everton and Celtic, as well as some teams in the Bundesliga.

Rak-Sakyi is a skilful, technical player who could have a big future in the game, and he seems like he’d be a fine fit for West Ham’s style of play.

The east Londoners have a proud record when it comes to promoting and developing youth, so it could be a good move for him, even if he has other tempting options.
