Interest from Championship Clubs
Leicester, Sunderland, and Blackburn are all vying for the signature of Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. The 20-year-old has caught the eye with his performances, prompting interest from these three Championship clubs.
Sunderland's Loan Enquiry
Sunderland has reportedly made an inquiry to Crystal Palace regarding a loan move for Rak-Sakyi. The Black Cats' interest has grown amid speculation surrounding Patrick Roberts, who is attracting attention from Celtic and Southampton.
Rak-Sakyi's Impressive Season
Rak-Sakyi had a standout season at Charlton, where he scored 15 goals and provided eight assists in League One. These performances have increased the likelihood of him leaving Palace, especially after Michael Olise rejected Chelsea and signed a new four-year deal.
Rodgers Interested in Roberts
Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, is reportedly interested in Sunderland's Patrick Roberts. Rodgers previously worked with Roberts during his time at Manchester City, and it seems he is keen to reunite with the 26-year-old.
Southampton's Potential Involvement
Southampton may also enter the race for Roberts as they embark on a rebuilding phase. The Saints are looking to strengthen their squad, and the versatile Roberts could be an attractive option for them.
Roy Hodgson's High Regard for Rak-Sakyi
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has spoken highly of Rak-Sakyi and even included him in the match day squad for their Premier League opener against Sheffield United. Hodgson has stated that he is in no rush to send Rak-Sakyi out on loan, preferring to work with the young talent in-house.
Roberts' Contributions at Sunderland
Meanwhile, Patrick Roberts had a productive season with Sunderland, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. His performances have caught the attention of several clubs in the market for attacking reinforcements.
