Oxford One of Five Teams Showing Interest in Crystal Palace Winger

|

Oxford United are one of five times showing interest in Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, according to Football Insider.

The 19-year-old had attracted interest from Rangers but the Scottish champions have pulled the plug on their pursuit.

Now, the report suggests Oxford, along with Cardiff, Reading, Accrington and MK Dons have all registered concrete interest in the Palace youngster.

The Premier League outfit will allow the 19-year-old to join a Football League club where he can continue his development at a competitive level.

Rak-Sakyi has scored twice in four England U20 outings and has impressed for Palace’s U23 side, scoring 11 goals from 16 Premier League 2 appearances.

He has so far managed just one senior appearance for the Eagles which came in a Premier League loss against Chelsea at the start of the season.

The U’s are yet to make a signing during the transfer window but reports suggest they are close to securing a permanent return for Marcus Browne.
