English-born Ghanaian Jesurun Rak-Sakyi received high praise after another strong performance for Charlton Athletic in English League One.
The Crystal Palace loanee scored in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Wycombe at Adams Park.
Not only did he bag his second goal in just three league outings but Rak-Sakyi carried an unpredictable edge all afternoon.
He showed superb composure to sidestep a challenge on the edge of the six-yard box before thundering home the leveller when the temptation would have been to snatch at it.
Rak-Sakyi was the only man in a red shirt who looked like he could create something, particularly in the second half.
His close control of the ball, particularly during one incident where he wriggled out of a tight spot in the Addicks’ half before launching a counter, was a joy to watch.
The midfielder is only 19 years old and with that comes a fearlessness that allows him to bamboozle defenders and open up space to run into. A real gem so far.
