The winger previously spent time on loan in the EFL with Charlton during the 2022-23 season, impressing in his 49 appearances in all competitions for the Addicks.
However, after trying to find a breakthrough at Crystal Palace, there should be some thought from Rak-Sakyi that departing on another loan stint may be useful, and if Millwall want to reinforce their attack, then should not wait around to make this loan transaction happen.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi to Millwall newest
The allegations tying Rak-Sakyi to the Bermondsey-based side originate from South London Press, who suggest that Millwall are interested in not just acquiring Rak-Sakyi but also David Ozoh, another Palace young product.
In the report, it is stated that Palace are examining whether to loan the duo out but will not make a decision until the middle of July.
The article also highlighted that Millwall would not make a decision on whether to sign Rak-Sakyi, or indeed the two, until much later on in the window, due to their claimed desire to not consider any temporary acquisitions until late on in the summer.
The delay in waiting to sign the youthful pair, or even just Rak-Sakyi alone, does seem a bit silly given he is obviously a very exciting prospect and one has altered the attack of an EFL team in the past.
If prior windows are anything to go by, there is not likely to be a shortage of suitors for the 21-year-old thus you feel Millwall should be proactive rather than reactive to give themselves the greatest opportunity of securing the attacker.
Rak-Sakyi’s EFL pedigree will strengthen Millwall’s present assault.
Rak-Sakyi has prior EFL experience, having spent time on loan with Charlton during the 2022/23 season. In his loan stay, he featured 43 times in League One, scoring an astounding 15 goals from the flank and putting on nine assists too.
If he could duplicate similar stats for Millwall, should he join the club on loan, then it might help fix some of their recent attacking woes.
The Lions scored a pitiful 45 goals this season in all their matches, leaving them as the division’s second-lowest scorers behind Sheffield Wednesday.
The team from SE16 did not saw one of their attackers reach 10 goals this season, with Zian Flemming being their best scorer with seven.

| Player Name | Appearances | Goals |
| Zian Flemming | 46 | 7 |
| Kevin Nisbet | 27 | 5 |
| Tom Bradshaw | 34 | 4 |
| Duncan Watmore | 34 | 3 |
| Ryan Longman | 35 | 3 |
There may be added incentive to bring in Rak-Sakyi on loan too, given their best player, Flemming, may go this summer.
The Dutchman was of great interest last season from the likes of Burnley following an exciting 2022/23 season, and while he has had a quieter 23/24, there is still speculated interest in his skills from the likes of newly-promoted Ipswich Town and Spanish side Alaves.
For the moment, it seems as though there will be a waiting game between Millwall, Palace, and Rak-Sakyi himself, but if the Eagles go ahead and let himfly the nest in 2024/25, then the Lions should roar into the lead to win the wingers signature and capture a future star that will help provide great attacking output next season.
A delayed approach in acquiring loan players might lose them the chance to bring in the talented 21-year-old thus the Lions should not hesitate and make it known to their South London neighbours that they’d be ready to take the winger on loan whenever he is available.
