Crystal Palace boss Vieira: Charlton good for Rak-Sakyi

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has heaped praise on young talent Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

The Palace star, who is only 20, has impressed on loan at English Championship side Charlton Athletic this term.

Rak-Sakyi has five goals and two assists for the Addicks in 18 matches so far this term.

"There is a reflection about a decision to make," Patrick Vieira told the club's website.

"He is doing really well. It is important for him to keep playing because at his age to keep progressing you need to play every week, so to call him back and play one game every six or seven I don't think will be the right decision.

"The discussion has to be around what can be the next challenge for him. At the minute he is in a really good place, with good support around him and enjoying his football, and I think that is really good for him."
