Leeds have been linked with a move for the 21-year-old from Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace attacker Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is unlikely to join Leeds United.
Despite all their efforts and a third-place finish in the EFL Championship last season, Leeds United could not secure an immediate return to the Premier League. It has had a negative financial impact and they have already lost their most important player from last season, Crysencio Summerville.
The Yorkshire-based club have identified Jesurun Rak-Sakyi as a possible replacement and according to reports, they have agreed a deal with Crystal Palace for his transfer. But, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post via Leeds United News, Daniel Farke’s side are willing to drop their interest in the 21-year-old from Crystal Palace.
Summerville scored 31 goals last season. He was their go-to man in the final third of the pitch and bringing in a replacement is the most important piece of business Leeds need to take care of before the end of the window. They have identified Rak-Sakyi as an ideal option to bolster their attack and according to reports, the Whites were one of three clubs to agree terms with the Eagles for the services of the England youth international.
Jesusrun Rak-Sakyi is unlikely to budge
However, a report from the Yorkshire Evening Post suggests that Rak-Sakyi is unlikely to move to Leeds. The Championship side are willing to drop their interest in his services as they will not be able to guarantee him enough game time from the start due to the options available in their squad.
With the 21-year-old considered to be an integral part of Crystal Palace’s first team, they are willing to discuss his move. But, he won’t be moving to Leeds. At this point, Sheffield United are the runners for his services and it would not be a surprise if he ends up joining before the end of the window.
