Sport nationLeeds United is on the cusp of losing their most valuable player, Crysencio Summerville, to West Ham United. The Dutch winger’s impending departure has left a void in the team’s attacking lineup, prompting the club to swiftly identify potential replacements. One name that has emerged as a prime target is Crystal Palace’s Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.
The 21-year-old winger has already showcased his prowess with a successful loan spell at Charlton Athletic, where he scored an impressive 15 goals in the 2022/23 season. Rak-Sakyi’s abilities align perfectly with what Leeds United needs, boasting pace, skill on the ball, and a keen eye for goal. His potential arrival could soften the blow of Summerville’s departure and provide a much-needed boost to the team’s attacking capabilities.
However, Leeds United faces stiff competition for Rak-Sakyi’s signature, with Burnley and Sheffield United also expressing interest in the young winger. The transfer market is known for its unpredictability, and the Whites will need to move quickly to secure Rak-Sakyi’s services.
With Daniel Farke at the helm, Leeds United has set its sights on promotion this season. The German manager’s experience and tactical acumen make him the perfect candidate to lead the team back to the Premier League. Rak-Sakyi’s addition would be a significant step in achieving this goal, providing the team with a much-needed injection of pace and creativity.
Rak-Sakyi’s loan spell at Charlton Athletic was a resounding success, with the winger scoring 15 goals and providing numerous assists. His performances caught the eye of Charlton manager Dean Holden, who praised Rak-Sakyi’s ability and work ethic. “Jes has done brilliant,” Holden said. “He had a really good season last season in U21s football – he got a high number of goals and assists in that. He’s had the confidence to come out of his comfort zone and come into men’s football for the first time.”
