Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is excited with the signing of winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi from Crystal Palace.

The English-born Ghanaian has been on the radar of several clubs but decided to join the Blades as he continues his development.

The 21-year-old is expected to play a key role at Sheffield United in the new campaign, as they eye a return to the Premier League.

"This deal was particularly pleasing to get over the line just because of the nature of the interest in Jesurun," he told the club's official website.

"His loan spell at Charlton really put him on the map and last season he enjoyed some Premier League experience, so with that in mind, he was always going to command interest. I'd like to thank Dougie Freedman and everyone at Palace for trusting us with the next stage of Jes's development. I've also got to mention our old mate Dean Henderson, who gave Jes a glowing reference of what we're about here.

"Many will have seen the speculation in the media over the last month, and some of the clubs linked, including ones in the Premier League, so I am really pleased that the lad has decided to come here.

"He's still young, and has lots to learn, but he has real talent and he's someone who has the ability to get the punters off their seats. Again, like some of the other players we've taken this summer, he's someone we'll enjoy working with."
