Sheffield United Stressing Promotion Credentials To Land QPR Target

Sheffield United are putting the emphasis on their likely promotion push next term in an attempt to beat QPR in the race for Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, according to journalist Alan Nixon.

The 21-year-old missed the bulk of the action last season with a hamstring injury, finishing with six Premier League appearances in a Crystal Palace shirt.

Now Crystal Palace are ready to let Rak-Sakyi head away on loan for the new season as they look for him to get a campaign of regular games under his belt.

Rak-Sakyi is wanted by a host of sides in the Championship, but QPR are putting in a big push.

The R’s trying seriously to sign the player and may even outbid their fellow Championship clubs.

Crystal Palace want the club signing Rak-Sakyi to cover the entire wage of the player and also pay a loan fee.

Sheffield United are also trying hard for Rak-Sakyi though.

The Blades will emphasise that moving to Bramall Lane could put the winger in the thick of a promotion battle.

It is suggested though that a loan fee could be an issue for Sheffield United as their takeover is still going through.
