After weeks of interest, multiple sources have confirmed that Lyon have tabled a formal bid for Jesuran Rak-Sakyi. The Crystal Palace midfielder has been attracting interest from across the league in recent weeks, with an opening offer marking a clear intent to get the deal done before the market intensifies. But it remains to be seen whether this opening bid will be enough to tempt a move away. Lyon are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Rizespor, Rangers and Celtic are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far this season, Lyon are steady at both ends (1.29 goals scored per game, 0.71 goals conceded per game). The role for Jesuran Rak-Sakyi would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Crystal Palace have also been linked with Joe Gomez, David Brooks and Christoph Baumgartner while Lyon are reportedly monitoring Lassine Sinayoko, Mehdi Taremi and Hamed Junior Traore.
