Charlton Athletic coach Anthony Hayes has revealed Jesurun Rak-Sakyi’s ambition of playing in the English Premier League and also representing Ghana at national level.
Rak Sakyi worked under Anthony Hayes in the English Championship last season during his loan spell.
Despite representing England U20, the former Chelsea attacker has set sights on playing for the Ghana national team as the expense of the Three Lions.
He made his Premier League debut as a substitute in a match against his former club Chelsea on 14th August 2021.
Revealing the ambition of the 20-year-old, Anthony Hayes said, "Jes[urun Rak-Sakyi] has ambitions to play in the Premier League and represent Ghana, to play in World Cup."
Currently, Rak-Sakyi is undertaking French classes after first-team training. He expressed his desire to learn the language to communicate with his potential Ghanaian teammates when he eventually joins the national team.
Rak-Sakyi featured on loan for Charlton Athletic in the League One last season and produced a masterclass performance for the club.
He scored 15 goals and provided 10 assists in 50 appearances and also grabbed the Player of the Year prize.
The forward has returned to Crystal Palace and is currently on preseason as he set sights on breaking into the team for the upcoming campaign.
