English-Ghanaian attacker Jesurun Rak-Sakyi joins Turkish side Ã?aykur Rizespor

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is embracing a fresh challenge as he joins Turkish side Çaykur Rizespor on loan from Crystal Palace.

The English-born Ghanaian attacker touched down in Rize full of hope, signing a one-year deal that could define the next step of his journey.

After an agreement between Palace, Rizespor, and the player, the 22-year-old is ready to settle into a new football culture. His time with England’s youth teams showed his promise, and now fans in Turkey are eager to see that talent shine.

"We welcome our new transfer Rak-Sakyi, who has also had the opportunity to play for the England youth national teams, and wish him success," Rizespor said in their official statement.

For Rizespor, the timing is crucial. The club has endured a poor start to the 2025-26 campaign, collecting just one point from their opening three Super Lig matches. Supporters believe Rak-Sakyi can bring the creativity and spark they need to climb the table.
