Rak-Sakyi decides on Rangers transfer amid £10m Crystal Palace exit update

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has been linked with a move to Rangers this summer.

Russell Martin will be pleased with the progress made at Ibrox so far from a recruitment perspective, with eight new arrivals checking in at Glasgow.

However, the Light Blues remain in the hunt for more attacking reinforcements and have been linked with a move to sign Rak-Sakyi from Crystal Palace.

The Englishman spent the previous campaign on loan at Sheffield United, but failed to achieve promotion back to the Premier League with them, with a new update emerging on his future away from Selhurst Park.

Rak-Sakyi looks set to leave Crystal Palace

Rak-Sakyi impressed in the Championship last time out, which has seemingly led to plenty of interest from around the globe this summer.

Rangers have been strong admirers of the winger, who, according to a report in the print edition of The Sun (pg58, 27 July), is keen on a move to Scotland.

It is stated that Rak-Sakyi “favours a switch” to Rangers, with negotiations still underway between the two sides.

To prize him away from the Premier League outfit, it could take upwards of £10million, with Rangers looking to reach an agreement on an initial loan deal.

Rangers still have a lot of work to do

In the grand scheme of things, pre-season results mean very little, though some concerns have already emerged after Rangers drew 2-2 with Middlesbrough at the weekend.

The Gers still need some more firepower in attack, with other areas of the squad also in need of some attention before the league season gets underway.

Motherwell play host to the Light Blues on 2 August in the league opener, with an away trip to Panathinaikos in the second round of the Champions League qualifiers up next for Rangers.
