Leeds United are reportedly eyeing Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi as a potential replacement for Crysencio Summerville, who is expected to join West Ham United.
The loss of Summerville, considered one of Leeds’ key players, will be significant.According to Sky Sports, Leeds are moving quickly to identify replacements, with Rak-Sakyi emerging as a target.
The young Crystal Palace winger had limited playing time in the Premier League last season but impressed during a loan spell at Charlton Athletic in 2022/23, scoring 15 goals.
Rak-Sakyi’s former manager at Charlton, Dean Holden, praised his development and highlighted the close relationship between Charlton and Crystal Palace in nurturing the player’s talent.
The 20-year-old shares similar attributes with Summerville, including pace, skillful ball control, and goal-scoring ability, making him a potentially ideal replacement.
However, Leeds face competition from Burnley and Sheffield United for his signature.
Leeds may have an advantage in the transfer race due to Daniel Farke’s management and the club’s promotion ambitions.
Securing Rak-Sakyi could help mitigate the impact of losing Summerville to West Ham.
