Unconfirmed reports suggest that discussions have begun between Stoke and Crystal Palace over the transfer of Jesuran Rak-Sakyi. The midfielder has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Rizespor, Lyon and Rangers remain in the background, but for now, Stoke are leading the way in ongoing talks. So far this season, Stoke are steady at both ends (1.19 goals scored per game, 0.85 goals conceded per game). The role for Jesuran Rak-Sakyi would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Crystal Palace are said to be exploring Evann Guessand, Sidiki Cherif and El-Ouas Zakaria with Stoke likewise connected to Milan Smit, Barry Bannan and Gavin Bazunu.
