Sheffield United are exploring a move to bring Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi back to Bramall Lane, sources have told Football Insider.
The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at the Blades from Palace, and the Championship outfit are working on a last-minute deal to bring him back.
Sources say that it would be another loan deal, as it was last term, which would see Rak-Sakyi spend the campaign in Sheffield.
Last season, the youngster started 22 Championship games for United, scoring seven goals and picking up one assist.

Sheffield United eye major re-signing to kickstart season
It has been a horrific start to the campaign for Sheffield United, who are the only team in the Championship yet to pick up a single point.
Chris Wilder left the Blades following last season’s play-off final defeat to Sunderland, with Ruben Selles taking charge at Bramall Lane.
However, with his side bottom of the league after four games, Selles is already under big pressure and could be set to dip back into the transfer market to strengthen his ranks.

Meanwhile, PSV Eindhoven are in advanced talks to sign Sheffield United star Gustavo Hamer, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
After excelling in the Championship last term, Hamer has attracted transfer interest from Leeds United, who beat his current club to promotion.
However, the midfielder is now more likely to join PSV Eindhoven, who can offer him the chance to return to the Dutch top flight.
While Sheffield United missed out on promotion last season, Hamer was a key asset for the Bramall Lane club, notching nine goals and seven assists in 41 second-tier appearances.
