Southampton 'monitoring' Crystal Palace winger amid Rangers interest
The highly rated wide man is the subject of a loan offer from Rangers, where manager Russell Martin is keen to strengthen his attacking options. Martin, formerly in charge at Southampton, is believed to be a long-time admirer of Rak-Sakyi and is now looking to bring him north of the border.
Rak-Sakyi, who spent the last two seasons on loan at Charlton Athletic and Sheffield United respectively, has found first-team opportunities limited at Selhurst Park and could be open to a temporary move in pursuit of regular game time.
Should Saints decide to step up their interest, they could offer the winger a chance to remain in the Championship, following their relegation from the top flight last year. Rangers, however, remain in pole position with a formal loan offer already on the table.
The situation is expected to develop over the coming week.

"I was not missing": Chloe Kelly explains penalty routine as England retain Euro 2025 crown
England forward Chloe Kelly has explained her unique penalty routine after firing the Lionesses to European glory once again. Kelly emphatically slammed home the decisive spot-kick in the shootout as England beat Spain in Sunday's Euro 2025 final. After Spain substitute Salma Paralluelo had fired her effort wide of the target, the stage was set for Kelly to win it for Sarina Wiegman's side. Going through her routine, the Arsenal star rolled the ball on the spot several times before placing it down, then produced the trademark hop and knee rise run-up and then smashed the ball into the back of the net, giving Cata Coll no chance. 'Honestly, it just making sure that I am ready, not letting anyone take me off my routine,'she said afterwards. I spin the ball so I feel like it is right and then, when I am ready, there is no amount of time, that's just when I feel that's the perfect one. 'Whether that will be 10 times [spinning the ball], I'd make sure it is 10 times. 'It is just something that is part of my routine, just like my breathe work is, and I try to stick to that routine as much as possible, and believe in myself in those moments.' It is now back-to-back Euro titles for the Lionesses and it was Kelly who proved to be the hero in the final three years ago as she netted a dramatic extra-time winner against Germany at Wembley. Despite seeing her initial penalty saved in the semi-final win over Italy, Kelly was not fazed about stepping up to take the final spot-kick against Spain. She added: 'To be honest, it started when I was at Everton - quite a few years ago now. It is something that just works for me, I can't explain it too much. 'I actually spoke with one of the coaches the other day about it, it's just my routine that works for me and I take my time, I take my breath, and I am confident in that. 'Taking a penalty normally would feel a bit weird to me. So it is just my routine. Sometimes you miss, sometimes you score, but I was adamant I was not missing two on the bounce.'

€78m deal is Liverpool's DREAM come true
Liverpool are set to strike a €78m deal. It's a dream come true and exactly what the Reds needed. Liverpool have found a few deals this summer that are still incredible to think about. Florian Wirtz's record-breaking arrival remains the peak, of course. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Wirtz cost Liverpool more than any other player in their history, arriving for around £100m guaranteed. That could well rise to a British transfer record if add-ons are met. The Jeremie Frimpong deal feels like a steal, too. He's joined for under £30m and fixes a few problems in the squad. One of those problems was created by Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid. Still, Liverpool turned that into a remarkable deal - £10m for a player who wouldn't actually play for the club again. Jarell Quansah joined Bayer Leverkusen for a sizeable fee in another brilliant deal. Liverpool retain a buyback clause for the defender so if he does reach his remarkable potential, the Reds can buy him back. Everything has been going Liverpool's way this summer, then. And now another deal can be added to that list. Liverpool to strike Luis Diaz deal Fabrizio Romano is one of many saying that a deal between Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz is now close. He says this one's at the final stages, with only details being sorted. Now, Romano claims the fee here is around €75m. Sky Sports suggest it's slightly higher at around €78m. And this is a fantastic deal for Liverpool. It's a large fee - one of the largest received for a Red - and it's for someone approaching 29 with two years remaining on his contract. Diaz wasn't going to sign a new deal, either, after negotiations broke down. His asking price would have plummeted in a year as a result of that - Liverpool needed to get this one done now.
