Leeds United’s first team will sign the Crystal Palace winger

Daniel Farke hopes his Leeds United side can secure another promotion next season.

The Whites came very close to returning to the Premier League last season, but losing the play-off final to Southampton meant the Yorkshire giants must spend the 2024-25 campaign in the Championship.

And the club’s failed promotion push has also meant several key players have moved on, including Archie Gray, who joined Spurs last month.

Along with Gray, Leeds also lost Rasmus Kristensen, Luis Sinisterra and Marc Roca. Junior Firpo is also in talks with Real Betis.

However, looking to reinvest the funds they have already raised, which are in excess of £70m, the Leeds hierarchy are preparing to make at least one top Premier League signing.

The 21-year-old is also wanted by other clubs, but the strong interest of Leeds sees them among the favorites to sign the attacker.

Spending last season on loan with Charlton, the young right winger enjoyed an excellent individual campaign. Rak-Sakyi scored 15 goals and registered nine assists in 49 games in all competitions. He has since returned to Selhurst Park but is expected to move again before the start of the season.
