Sunderland is making a last-minute effort to secure the signing of Crystal Palace’s promising young attacker, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, as reported by Alan Nixon.
The build-up to deadline day has been frenetic for Sunderland, with the club facing the likelihood of losing Ross Stewart to Southampton and the possibility of Patrick Roberts also departing. This scenario could potentially result in a challenging end to the summer transfer window for Tony Mowbray’s team.
Adding to their woes, Sunderland appears to be falling behind in the race for potential transfer targets, a trend that has persisted throughout the month.
However, a new opportunity has emerged with the potential acquisition of Rak-Sakyi.
The 20-year-old displayed his talent while on loan at Charlton Athletic in League One last season and has since been linked to a loan move in the Championship. Sunderland had a loose connection to him earlier in the summer, but they are now making a late push for his signature.
