Charlton Athletic manager Ben Garner has heaped praises on Ghanaian forward Jesurun Rak-Sakyi following his goal against Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday night.
It took Rak-Sakyi just eleven minutes to open his accounts for the “Addicks” as they won by five goals to one and Garner insists the Crystal Palace owned player is a great talent.
“It was a great debut for Jes and he is only going to get better,” said Garner. “I think we’ve all seen tonight what a talent he has got. It’s great for him to score early on. Hopefully he can have a fantastic season for us.
“His biggest asset is his wonderful, wonderful balance. Couple that with close control and ability. But tactically tonight was most pleasing for me because he’s only had two days prep on how we wanted to press and be without the ball. He’s done that fantastically well for a young player.
“It was a really mature debut.
“It wasn’t quite the perfect team performance – I’d have liked the clean sheet – but really good to react from Saturday because there was frustration, I wouldn’t go as far as disappointment, to not get anything. You either get despondent and drop away or you roll your sleeves up and come back harder – which is what we did tonight.”
Rak-Sakyi 19, was voted as Crystal Palace best young player of the year for 2021/2022.
