Leeds United are vying for the signature of Crystal Palace’s coveted star player, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. The talented winger has decided against joining Crystal Palace’s pre-season tour, sparking rumors of a potential move away from Selhurst Park.
Reports suggest that several Championship sides, including Leeds United, have expressed interest in Rak-Sakyi. Premier League club Southampton is also in the mix, with discussions of a possible permanent transfer or a season-long loan with a £12m bid being prepared.
While Southampton appears to be the front-runner for Rak-Sakyi’s signature, talks are ongoing, and the player’s decision to stay in the UK has surprised many. Palace are reportedly open to his exit this summer, but a permanent option is not their preference, as they are hesitant to strengthen a rival like Southampton.
Rak-Sakyi’s desire for regular first-team football may lead him towards Southampton, despite Palace’s preference for a Championship loan. Leeds United may find it challenging to secure his services, as they are not actively pursuing wide attacking reinforcements at the moment.
With less than three weeks until the Premier League kicks off, Rak-Sakyi is keen to secure a move quickly and settle in with his new team. The race for his signature is heating up, with multiple clubs vying for his talents as the transfer deadline approaches.
