Chris Wilder thrilled as Sheffield United secures exciting talent Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on loan
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi
Sheffield United coach Chris Wilder has expressed his excitement following the season-long loan signing of English-born Ghanaian winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi from Crystal Palace.
The deal, which Wilder described as "particularly pleasing," was completed despite interest from several clubs, including those in the Premier League.
Rak-Sakyi, who gained recognition during his loan spell at Charlton and has some Premier League experience, was praised by Wilder for his talent and ability to excite fans.
"This deal was particularly pleasing to get over the line just because of the nature of the interest in Jesurun," he told Sheffield United website.
"His loan spell at Charlton really put him on the map and last season he enjoyed some Premier League experience, so with that in mind, he was always going to command interest. I'd like to thank Dougie Freedman and everyone at Palace for trusting us with the next stage of Jes's development. I've also got to mention our old mate Dean Henderson, who gave Jes a glowing reference of what we're about here.
"Many will have seen the speculation in the media over the last month, and some of the clubs linked, including ones in the Premier League, so I am really pleased that the lad has decided to come here.
"He's still young, and has lots to learn, but he has real talent and he's someone who has the ability to get the punters off their seats. Again, like some of the other players we've taken this summer, he's someone we'll enjoy working with."
