Crystal Palace have reportedly rejected a £10 million bid from Rangers for their highly-rated winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, as the Premier League club aims to retain the promising youngster.
The 21-year-old, who impressed on loan at Charlton Athletic last season, has attracted significant interest following his breakthrough performances. Rangers, eager to bolster their attacking options, tested Palace's resolve with a substantial offer, but the Eagles remain unwilling to part ways with their emerging star.
Why Palace Are Holding Firm
Rak-Sakyi, a product of Palace's academy, is viewed as a key part of the club's long-term plans. His pace, dribbling ability, and eye for goal have made him a standout prospect, with manager Oliver Glasneh reportedly keen to integrate him into the first-team setup this season.
Despite Rangers' financial muscle, Palace's refusal highlights their commitment to nurturing young talent rather than cashing in prematurely. The Scottish giants may now need to explore alternative targets.
What’s Next for Rangers?
With the transfer window still open, Rangers could return with an improved offer or shift their focus elsewhere. The Glasgow club is under pressure to strengthen their squad after a mixed start to the Scottish Premiership campaign.
Meanwhile, Rak-Sakyi is expected to feature in Palace's pre-season preparations, with fans hopeful he can make an impact in the Premier League this term.
