According to the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace talent Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is wanted by Celtic, Everton and West Ham United.

It’s claimed that the 18-year-old has rejected a professional deal with Palace and now looks set to leave this summer.

Rak-Sakyi has major interest in the UK, as Celtic want to take him to Scotland whilst Everton and West Ham are looking to keep him in England.

However, Germany seems to be the destination of choice for Rak-Sakyi, with ‘positive talks’ held over a move to a Bundesliga club.

That means that, unless Celtic, Everton or West Ham can come up with a new offer, then the trio will ultimately miss out on a possible bargain.

The teenager has come up through the Palace ranks, and is described as being a pacey and technically gifted midfielder with an eye for goal and impressive tactical awareness for his age.

Despite seeing the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tyrick Mitchell emerge in the first team in recent years, Rak-Sakyi seemingly feels that he can’t break through with Palace.

A move to Germany looks to be on the cards, but let’s see if Celtic, Everton or West Ham can come up with a last-gasp offer.
