Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has a future at Selhurst Park.

The 20 year-old winger is on-loan with Charlton Athletic, where he was nominated for EFL Young Player of the Year in League One.

Hodgson said of working with Rak-Sakyi: He was a charming boy. Everyone took to him when he came into the first-team squad and went about his business in a professional, quiet way, and we could see that we were dealing with a talent here. This was a very skilful player who was meant to be on the football field.

Even stepping up from the U23s to first-team football, he handled very well. For him to do so well [at Charlton] and get that accolade and nomination is great for him, but also great for Crystal Palace. Loans can go either way.

Jes should be coming back with his confidence sky-high and joining a lot of very talented players we have in the U21s at the moment. The club is in a very healthy position today in terms of players."
