The academy star has broken into the first-team this season.
So who is Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and could he have an exciting Crystal Palace career ahead of him? Let’s take a look…
What position does Jesurun Rak-Sakyi play?
The player looks to be a top talent, and what is even more exciting is the fact that Rak-Sakyi is an attacking player. The attacker predominantly plays as a right-winger; however, he can also play as a left-winger and as an attacking midfielder. He is left-footed but he enjoys cutting in from the right to have a shot, and this is one of his big strengths.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi age
Rak-Sakyi was just recently promoted to the first-team after being in the academy so he is still quite a young footballer. The Englishman was born on October 5th 2002 and this makes him 21 years-old. He is definitely at the right age to now make a positive impact in senior football.
How tall is Jesurun Rak-Sakyi?
Rak-Sakyi is a pacey winger who is able to dribble on the ball with ease. He likes to get back defenders and definitely has a trick or two in his box. The 21-year-old is 1.78m, which makes him around 5 ft 8. He isn’t the tallest but this definitely plays to his strengths.
