Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is a son of a Ghanaian father
Ghanaian teenager Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is pushing for a start for Crystal Palace in their game against Tottenham this weekend, according to football.london.
Injuries coupled with poor form could provide the starlet with an opportunity this weekend in the London derby.
Michael Akpovie Olise has just returned from a back injury, with the Palace coaching staff potentially hesitant to throw him straight against Spurs.
Meanwhile, Jordan Ayew has dipped in form as he has failed to score in the Premier League since November 2020.
Rak-Sakyi has been in fine form for the Eagles since moving to the club from Chelsea in 2019 earning him a professional contract this summer.
The 18-year-old made his debut in the Premier League opener against Chelsea coming on in the 76th minute to replace Jairo Riedewald.
Rak-Sakyi seems to have impressed manager Patrick Vieira at training as he considers giving him a starting role on Saturday at the Selhurst Park.
