English-born Ghanaian forward Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has opened up on his loan transfer to Championship side Sheffield United, saying “It was my first choice”.
Sheffield United fought strong competition from the top-flight and Championship to secure the services of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on a season-long loan from Crystal Palace.
Rak-Sakyi becomes club’s tenth signing of the summer months, joining Sam McCallum, Jamie Shackleton, Kieffer Moore, Callum O’Hare, Harrison Burrows, Alfie Gilchrist, Harry Souttar, Tyrese Campbell and Michael Cooper at S2.
“It was my first choice, I didn’t take in the outside noise, when I spoke to the gaffer I knew it was the right place for me.” he said after completing the transfer move.
Having started in the youth ranks at Chelsea, Rak-Sakyi joined Crystal Palace in 2019 and made a first-team matchday squad in April 2021, shortly before penning his first professional contract.
The London-born operator made his Premier League debut against Chelsea at the beginning of the 2021-22 campaign and having featured in the Football League Trophy, he ended the campaign by making his first top-flight start in the win over Manchester United at Selhurst Park.
