Rak-Sakyi news
Just to wrap the Jes Rak-Sakyi saga up. He joined Kasimpasa in Turkey just before the Turkish deadline expired on Friday night.
The 23-year old has signed on loan for the season. Following that he will be a free agent.
Kasimpasa play in Turkey’s SuperLiga and finished 13th out of 18 last season and in their 4th league game today, Rak-Sakyi was on the bench.
Playing in Turkey is not new for the winger. He played 13 games for Çaykur Rizespor on loan last season scoring 4 goals.
A £4 million fee was agreed by Palace and Charlton but fell apart in the final week of the English window.
Nothing official was ever given as a reason, understandably, but it was said that the youngster had issues with an old agent demanding a big chunk of the ‘commission’ and his new advisor, believed to involve a family member, disputing this with Charlton in the middle.
A workaround may have been possible as you’d have to think Jes would really wanted to push his move through, but then stories circulated that he had also failed a medical, possibly more than once.
We’ll see how many games and how well he does for Kasimpasa and watch to see if there is any movement in January.
Charlton’s loss, I think. Like you, I feel that he wanted to return to the Valley. We could do with him wide on the right.
A very strange saga, and perhaps more will indeed unfold in January!
What a shame he’s of to turkey, shame on Everyone who wanted to profit on his move to Charlton good luck jrs
What ??
Playing in Turkey when he could be with us….sack his agent !!!
