Crystal Palace have loaned winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi overseas following his season at Sheffield United.
He helped the Blades reach the Championship play-off final and racked up 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals.
The 22-year-old returned to his parent club in the summer, although there was talk of a loan switch back to Sheffield United.

New challenge for ex-Sheffield United winger
He has still managed to find a temporary home despite the closure, joining Çaykur Rizespor of the Turkish top flight.
The wideman will spend the entirety of the 2025/26 campaign at the Süper Lig club as he seeks to prove his worth to Palace.
In a statement, the Eagles said: “Crystal Palace can confirm that Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has joined Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor on loan until the end of the 2025/26 season, subject to international clearance.
“The 22-year-old winger joined Palace’s Academy from Chelsea in 2019, and has since made 10 senior appearances for the club in all competitions.

“After impressing on loan with Charlton Athletic in 2022/23, Rak-Sakyi spent last season in the Championship with Sheffield United, where he scored seven times in 36 matches as the Blades narrowly missed out on promotion through the play-offs.
“He will now continue his career in the Turkish Super League with Rizespor, who finished ninth in the top-flight last season. Everyone at Crystal Palace wishes Jes the very best of luck for his time in Turkey.”
Rizespor currently sit 16th in the Turkish top flight after two losses and one draw across their opening three games.
