Cardiff, Norwich and Preston alerted as Crystal Palace weigh Jesurun Rak-Sakyi transfer

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi's future at Crystal Palace remains uncertain, with the winger approaching the final year of his contract and several Championship clubs likely to monitor his situation before the transfer window closes.

The 23-year-old has impressed during loan spells throughout the EFL but has struggled to establish himself as a regular at Selhurst Park, leaving Palace with a decision to make over whether to cash in this summer.

Cardiff City have enjoyed a relatively quiet transfer window since returning to the Championship, with Brian Barry-Murphy making only a handful of additions.

Although the Bluebirds already possess several wide options, Rak-Sakyi's pace, Championship experience and long-term potential could make him an attractive signing as Cardiff aim to strengthen before the deadline.

With his contract running down, Palace may also be more willing to negotiate a permanent transfer.

Norwich City have been hit by injuries in attacking areas, increasing the need for another versatile forward.

Rak-Sakyi's ability to operate on either wing—and even at left-back when required—would give Philippe Clement valuable tactical flexibility.

While his return of nine goals and two assists across loan spells with Sheffield United and Stoke City is modest, Norwich may believe there is still significant room for development.

Preston North End are another club who could enter the race after an underwhelming pre-season campaign.

Paul Heckingbottom has already strengthened his squad, but adding a direct winger remains an area worth addressing, particularly as the manager experiments with a back-four system.

Rak-Sakyi would bring pace, creativity and Championship experience to Deepdale, offering a different profile to the attacking players already available.

Crystal Palace are expected to make a decision on Rak-Sakyi's future before the transfer window closes. If the Eagles make him available, Championship clubs could move quickly to secure one of the division's most experienced young wide players.
