Ghanaian youngster Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has been tipped as the player to replace Wilfred Zaha at Crystal Palace.
The 19-year-old who is currently on-loan at Charlton Athletic has been explosive since joining the club.
He has two goals and one assist in just four league appearances for the Addicks, which means the enterprising forward is having no trouble adapting to the demands of senior football.
The forward, who has two appearances for Crystal Palace senior team was farmed out on loan in search of regular playing time this season.
If Rak-Sakyi continues his fine form in League One, then he could be the man to replace Wilfried Zaha in Vieira’s team as rumours has it that Zaha will leave the Selhurst Park next summer when his contract ends.
Zaha has made 435 appearances for the Eagles, contributing 87 goals and 73 assists.
The teenage sensation scored on his debut for Charlton Athletic in their 5-1 win over Plymouth Argyle and has been lauded by coach Ben Garner.
“It was a great debut for Jes and he is only going to get better. 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.”
