Youngster Rak-Sakyi likely start for Crystal Palace against Tottenham

According to football.london, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is fighting for a starting spot for Crystal Palace’s match against Tottenham this weekend.

Injuries and bad form might give the youngster a chance this weekend.

Michael Olasie has only recently recovered from a back ailment, and the Palace coaching staff may be wary to throw him in right away. Meanwhile, Jordan Ayew has not scored in the Premier League since November of last year.

Since joining the Eagles from Chelsea in 2019, the 18-year-old has been in excellent form.

His performances earned him a start against Chelsea in the Premier League opener.

Rak-Sakyi also made his international debut for England’s under-20s yesterday. Andy Edwards’ team defeated Romania 6-1 with a goal from the Crystal Palace youngster.
