Wolverhampton target Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi
Wolverhampton Wanderers are in advanced talks to sign Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, with the Midlands club identifying the 22-year-old as a long-term replacement for Matheus Cunha, who recently joined Manchester United.
According to The Sun, Palace are open to selling Rak-Sakyi for £10 million, a fee Wolves are willing to meet. This places Wolves ahead in the race for the talented youngster’s signature, with Scottish giants Rangers also expressing interest — though they remain reluctant to match the South London club’s valuation.
Rak-Sakyi spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Sheffield United, where he gained valuable first-team experience in the Championship. The pacey winger featured in 35 matches, scoring seven goals and delivering several assists, making him one of the Blades’ standout performers in an otherwise difficult season.
The Crystal Palace academy graduate has built a reputation for his explosive pace, tricky dribbling, and eye for goal — attributes that have made him a highly sought-after prospect in the current transfer window.
In addition to his domestic experience, Rak-Sakyi has also featured on the international stage. He has earned five caps for the England U20s, scoring one goal. His performances at youth level further underscore his potential to make an impact at the highest levels of the game.
Euro Football Rumours
With Matheus Cunha departing for Manchester United in a high-profile deal last month, Wolves have made strengthening their attacking options a top priority. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi fits the profile of the type of player Wolves are now targeting — young, dynamic, and full of potential.
Sources close to the club suggest that Wolves are confident of closing the deal swiftly, with talks reportedly progressing positively. Should the move go through, Rak-Sakyi would become one of the club’s marquee signings of the summer.
Meanwhile, Rangers FC are keeping tabs on Rak-Sakyi’s situation, but their reluctance to meet Palace’s £10m asking price could rule them out of contention. The Scottish club is believed to admire the player but may be forced to consider alternative targets unless the Eagles lower their demands — an unlikely scenario given Wolves’ willingness to pay in full.
The potential transfer of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi from Crystal Palace to Wolves looks increasingly likely, as the West Midlands club steps up efforts to secure the exciting winger ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season. With a proven record in the Championship and international experience at youth level, Rak-Sakyi could be the perfect addition to Wolves’ evolving squad.
