“Jes is a very good player. He’s a future talent and did well at Charlton [on loan last season]. David is a good young player. I’m happy for them that they’re having opportunities now – it’s for them to seize them.”
Rak-Sakyi is a 20-year-old right-winger born in London to Ghanaian parents and is eligible to represent Ghana internationally at the senior level after representing England’s Under 20 side.
