Crystal Palace are facing late-window interest in winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, with Olympique Lyonnais joining the chase.

According to Sky Sports News, the 22-year-old is also on the radar of Leicester City, Celtic and Rangers. The Scottish clubs had attempted a move last month, but their loan bid was rejected by the London side.

Rak-Sakyi, under contract with Crystal Palace until 2026, remains a sought-after talent as the transfer window nears its close. Lyon hope to boost their attacking options with the explosive right-sided winger. Transfermarkt values the player at around €6 million (£5.2 million). Last season, he spent a loan spell at Sheffield United, making 36 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing two assists.
