Crystal Palace's 23-year-old English winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is set to join Stoke City on a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy. The player, who had been linked with Celtic multiple times during January, had already chosen Stoke when late interest emerged from Monaco. Stoke were aware of a knee issue but were willing to proceed with the signing. Rak-Sakyi, who has been capped twice by the England U21 team, has a contract with Crystal Palace until June 2027. According to reports in January 2026, the club was demanding an £8 million obligation-to-buy fee. His current valuation on Transfermarkt is €6.00m.
