“Perfect replacement for Harvey Barnes” – Leicester City look to beat Ipswich Town in Crystal Palace race: The verdict.

Leicester City are looking to pip Ipswich Town to the signing of Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

That is according to Mike McGrath, who states that both Leicester and Palace are in discussions over a deal that will see the 20-year-old join the Foxes on loan for the season.

Ipswich have looked the most likely of destinations, if Rak-Sakyi were to leave the London side this summer, which was thrown into doubt not long ago.

The young attacker enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last season while on loan at Charlton Athletic, scoring 15 goals and registering nine assists.

He could now be set for another loan move to the EFL, but this time in the Championship with promotion favourites Leicester City.

Is Leicester City a good move for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi?

Some of the writers at Football League World have discussed the possibility of Rak-Sakyi joining Leicester on loan and shared whether they think this is a good move for the player and club.

Leicester City are still in need of finding a suitable replacement for Harvey Barnes, and despite having money in the bank from certain transfers, they may not do much better than getting a loan agreement sorted for Rak-Sakyi.

The 20-year-old was a breath of fresh air last season for Charlton, as he enjoyed his first taste of regular first-team football.

Of course, there will be concerns if he can make the step up to the Championship, but considering he never played in the EFL before last season and how well he did, he should be given the chance to show his capabilities in England’s second tier.

If Crystal Palace know the young forward isn’t going to get regular minutes with them, then it is wise for them to send him back on loan to continue his development, and where better than Leicester City.

A team that is expected to be there or thereabouts come the end of May, and with the quality of players still in their squad, Rak-Sakyi could really impose himself in the Championship.

The winger can play in a variety of positions, and with his eye for goal, he seems like the perfect replacement for Barnes.
