Leeds United remains in contention to secure Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on loan from Crystal Palace, despite Sheffield United appearing to be close to finalizing a deal.
With their Championship season opener just over 24 hours away, Leeds still has transfer business to conduct.
Daniel Farke needs to fill the void left by Crysencio Summerville’s departure with a quality winger before the August 30 deadline.
Sheffield United seemed poised to secure Rak-Sakyi on loan, with The Standard reporting they were nearing an agreement including a recall clause and a £1 million fee.
However, Sky Sports has revealed that Leeds and Hull City have also agreed to Palace’s loan terms.
While Chris Wilder’s side remains the favorite, Rak-Sakyi hasn’t made a final decision on his destination for the 24/25 season.
Rak-Sakyi is considered an excellent loan prospect for any Championship club. Given the limited availability of high-quality wingers on loan this summer, he’s well-positioned to make a significant impact.
Sheffield United’s potential acquisition of Rak-Sakyi would be their most impressive move so far, considering their recent takeover.
However, if Leeds were to secure him instead, it would greatly enhance their attacking options, particularly by adding a natural right-winger to their squad.
