Leeds United are trying to secure a deal for Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi as part of plans to restart their transfer market recruitment.
Sheffield United have now tabled a wider ranging deal worth £20,000-a-week that is three times what he earns at Palace.
Despite this, Leeds remain in the race to secure his signature, recognizing the potential impact he could have on their squad.
Leeds’ Need for Wingers
The exit of Crysencio Summerville to West Ham United has left a big hole in the Whites’ attacking options, with wide areas particularly lacking.
This is something that manager Daniel Farke has been keen to rectify, as shown in their season opener against Portsmouth.
Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto did well, but the need for support was clear with nobody of similar quality behind them.
This is where Rak-Sakyi comes in, Known for his direct style and exceptional dribbling ability, he would provide much-needed depth and skill to Leeds’ attack.
Rak-Sakyi’s Potential Impact
The potential signing of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi may be a Leeds game changer.
And the encouraging displays during his loan stint with Charlton Athletic, when he ran at defenders and created opportunities that’s just what Leeds desperately need.
Bringing him in would not only enhance the team’s attacking capabilities but also send a strong message of ambition from the club’s management.
Leeds United’s interest in signing Jesurun Rak-Sakyi highlights the club is looking to bolster their ranks and remain competitive.
Sheffield United will be able to offer them a better financial package, but Leeds have plenty of appeal for the young talent who may see themselves as making more of an impression in their campaign.
Fans will want to see Leeds making progress signing this future star as the transfer window unravels.
