Charlton manager Ben Garner has likened on-loan Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi to Manchester United great George Best!

Garner also says Rak-Sakyi reminds him of Palace star Wilfried Zaha.

Jes [Rak-Sakyi] has a similar ability to Wilf [Zaha] in that they look like maybe they're going to lose the ball and they toe it through someone's legs or nick it away," Garner, who worked in Palace's youth system, told The Athletic.

“His standout attribute is his wonderful balance and ability to change direction. He's a little bit of a throwback in some ways — you go back to people like George Best who can beat people without moving the ball. Jes can do that.

“He can beat people with his body movement. He can go both ways, finish off both feet, but he's also got his eyes up and has got vision. I worked with a lot of players in academy football who were fantastic dribblers but didn't see movement around them. Jes can carry the ball but he's got awareness.

“Wilf at the same age was more of an out-and-out dribbler. Jes has a bit of a headstart in that his productivity is ahead of Wilf with how cleanly he strikes the ball and his numbers."
