Crystal Palace whizkid Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is hoping for more first team action this season.

Rak-Sakyi earned his first Premier League start last season.

"I'm just hoping to play as many games as I can, help the team in every way possible and improve individually," he told the club's website.

Last season, the young attacking midfielder featured for the final 14 minutes of the opening day defeat to Chelsea. He recounts that moment:

"I was just ready to get called [on to play], so I was happy the chance came and happy that I was able to make my debut last season. I want to continue and push on.

"He [Vieira] wanted me to go and express myself. We were already 3-0 down so it was a good opportunity for me to get on. He said I'd been doing well in pre-season and that I deserved it, so just go out there and play.

"The intensity is quick; much quicker than I expected. But once you get on the ball, get your first touch going, it's fine. You settle in."
