Rangers have already tried to sign Jesurun Rak-Sakyi in the past, and Michael Beale must now push to bring him to Ibrox.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst attempted to lure the Crystal Palace wonderkid to Glasgow back in January 2022.

That was according to the Daily Mail, although Rak-Sakyi ended up staying in south London, where he went on to make a Premier League start against Manchester United in the second half of the 2021/22 campaign.

Now – however – it is the ideal time for Rangers and the England Under-20 international to team up.

Rangers must try to sign Rak-Sakyi

Well, Rak-Sakyi has enjoyed an outstanding campaign on loan at Charlton and now seems ready for a step up, which he would get at Ibrox in addition to Champions League experience.

At the same time, Rangers are about to lose Ryan Kent when his contract expires, so Michael Beale could do with a new winger.

The Daily Mail believe Burnley have already made a move to sign the 26-year-old when he becomes a free agent.

Rak-Sakyi has been in sensational form this season, scoring 13 goals while also providing eight assists for Charlton to earn himself a nomination for the English Football League (EFL) Young Player of the Year award.

A recent brace in a 3-2 win over Burton Albion even had ITV tipping him to become the next Wilfried Zaha.

You may argue that Crystal Palace will want to keep Rak-Sakyi for the 2023/24 campaign.

However – according to the South London Press – the Eagles will have a look at him in pre-season before making a decision, and are open to another loan.

Therefore, if Rak-Sakyi does become available for a loan move this summer, Beale has to get in touch with Crystal Palace. It could prove to be a deal which makes Rangers fans forget all about Kent.
