Crystal Palace are not willing to let Jesurun Rak-Sakyi go easily this summer and are making demands as tasks continue.
The stock of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has never been higher with much of the Championship desperate to see him in their colours this coming season.
With the new season rapidly approaching, it won’t be long until we get the answer of where he ends up – if he does depart Crystal Palace at all that is.
Rak-Sakyi has made a case for himself to stay, surely impressing Oliver Glasner with his goals in pre-season.
But if he does go out on loan, it now seems likely to be to one of two destinations.

Crystal Palace making demands from QPR to let Rak-Sakyi go
It feels inevitable that Rak-Sakyi will be heading out on loan this summer, with game-time this coming season of paramount importance.
In the bid to find him the perfect loan, it now seems like QPR are actually best placed to meet the demands Palace have set in order to let him depart.
According to Alan Nixon on his Patreon on Monday, the Eagles want Rak-Sakyi’s wages covered and also a loan fee to be paid on top of this.
QPR could be well-placed to make this move happen with Rak-Sakyi a player who is ready to rip up the Championship.
However, there could yet be competition for QPR with fellow Championship side Sheffield United reportedly willing to offer Rak-Sakyi a pay rise to tempt him.
This also comes from Alan Nixon’s Patreon with a report on Tuesday explaining that Sheffield believes bolstering his wages could be enough to tip the scale in their favour for a move.
Crystal Palace don’t have to let Rak-Sakyi go on loan
For the Eagles, a loan for Rak-Sakyi only makes sense if the club don’t think he’ll play this coming season.
The winger has showcased his ability already through pre-season and we don’t see why he wouldn’t be able to play a role in the squad for Palace – possibly as Ismaila Sarr’s back-up.
Rak-Sakyi’s chance of game-time could even be bolstered with recent rumours suggesting Jordan Ayew could be sold to Leicester City.
Regular substitute minutes and potential starts in cup competitions would likely be enough to appease Rak-Sakyi, and he might even overtake Sarr if he ends up as good as we believe he can be.
