Jesurun Rak-Sakyi joins: How Derby County's dream end to the transfer window looks | OneFootball

FLW take a look at how Derby's dream end to the transfer window could look.

Derby County have certainly done some shrewd business during the summer transfer window, but bringing in a couple more players before deadline day is surely a must for John Eustace's side.

Eustace has welcomed 12 new faces to Pride Park, including the Wednesday arrivals of right-back Max Johnston from Sturm Graz and ex-Blackburn Rovers captain Lewis Travis on permanent deals.

After impressing in pre-season, Corey Blackett-Taylor is expected to be on the sidelines for a number of weeks still, leaving Kayden Jackson as the only other 'natural' winger in the first-team.

Although, in an ideal world, many fans would've probably preferred Jackson to have moved on this summer.

With this in mind, Football League World take a look at how Derby's dream end to the transfer window could look. Please bear in mind this is a suggestive list.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi - Crystal Palace

The 22-year-old Crystal Palace winger is definitely the type of signing that would relieve the Derby fans.

This is because Rams supporters have been crying out for a winger who can beat their man and has some end product. Rak-Sakyi's loan at Charlton in League One for the 22/23 season saw him register 15 goals and eight assists.

While his loan at Sheffield United last season was impacted a little by injury after missing six games over Christmas and the New Year, he still managed appear 34 times in the Championship and scored seven goals.

There's no doubt that Rak-Sakyi's pace and directness on the right-flank would give Eustace better quality on that side than what Jackson offers.

Of course, Derby already have one loanee from Palace - David Ozoh - so in an ideal world he could definitely play the role of 'agent' and persuade Rak-Sakyi to join him.

Scottish giants Rangers were said to be interested in him this summer, but he was forced off injured during a pre-season friendly in July, which would have worried any potential suitors - yet he made the bench in Palace's recent PL2 game against Tottenham Hotspur.

Grady Diangana - Free Agent

Grady Diangana's availability remains a genuine opportunity for the East Midlands outfit to secure a player with considerable Championship experience.

Yes, he didn't have the best of seasons at West Bromwich Albion in 24/25 before leaving The Hawthorns, with four goals and three assists from 35 total appearances, but he should still have a lot to offer at 27-years-old.

He is able to operate anywhere across the forward line, similar to that of summer arrival Rhian Brewster, and once contributed to 14 Championship goals for the Baggies when first on loan at the club from West Ham in 2019/20 - they ended up getting promoted.

Diangana would obviously be a low-risk move for Derby, who might be needing to move on any targets they have quickly, seeing as the window ends soon and they've already missed out on others.

QPR obviously matched the Rams' bid for Koki Saito, as per Mike McGrath, and he's now back in West London. This could mean Derby might have no choice but to bring in a wide player in a similar situation to how Brewster was when he first arrived, even though fans want players for the here and now.

Also, FLW's Derby County Fan Pundit, Shaun Woodward, has previously expressed his desire to get a deal for Diangana done.

After spending six years at West Brom, his motivation could have taken a hit, and a new environment in Pride Park could be what Diangana needs to get his career back on track.

Ultimately, the addition of at least two wingers would be the best-case scenario for Derby at this point - both Rak-Sakyi and Diangana are two realistic options that the club should probably have on their list.
