Lille enter race for Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi | OneFootball

According to a report from L’Équipe, Lille OSC are interested in bringing Crystal Palace winger and former England U21 international Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (23) to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy as they look to add attacking reinforcements before the end of the winter transfer window. 

Rak-Sakyi has spent half the season away from his parent club on loan at Çaykur Rizespor, where he made 13 appearances across all competitions and scored four goals. However, he recently returned to the Premier League side and has been linked with multiple clubs. 

Lille reportedly had inquired about Jhon Durán (22), who is set to return to Al-Nassr following a loan to Fenerbahçe. However, a deal for the Colombian, who cost the Saudi Arabian side a reported €77m fee, has gone cold for Lille. 

Lille have been spurred into action following the season-ending injury to Hamza Igamane, an injury which leaves them with only the misfiring veteran Olivier Giroud and the prospect Soriba Diaoune as their remaining two recognised strikers.
