Leeds United have been given fresh hope in their bid to sign Jesurun Rak-Sakyi from Crystal Palace after his move to Sheffield United hit a snag, according to Alan Nixon.
The White have had an interest in the talented winger all summer, with terms agreed on a deal earlier in the window. But the player instead opted for a move to the Blades, and even travelled to watch them play in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.
However their move has now hit an issue over agent payments and all the paperwork has not yet been signed, leaving a deal in doubt.
Leeds Still Want Rak-Sakyi
£15million bid made but Palace want loan deal
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi playing for PalaceLeeds tabled a stunning £15million bid to sign the 21-year-old over the weekend but Palace rejected it as they prefer to loan the player out rather than lose him permanently.
That saw them accept a loan move from Sheffield United and a deal was expected to be completed before this weekend’s fixtures, but Nixon has shared on his Patreon account that the deal has hit problems.
Paperwork on the player’s side is yet to be completed, but the Blades are still keen to get a deal over the line and expect to be able to sort any issue before Friday lunchtime’s deadline so he can play in their next fixture.
