Crystal Palace target Noni Madueke has taken to Instagram to heap praise on rising star Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who Patrick Vieira is a big fan of.

The PSV Eindhoven winger – who the Evening Standard revealed is a target for the Eagles – lauded the 18-year-old after his goal against Everton.

On Friday evening, Rak-Sakyi collected the ball just inside the box at Selhurst Park, before whipping a beautiful effort into the far corner.

It’s no wonder Vieira gave him his Premier League debut against Chelsea a few weeks ago, before calling him a ‘talented’ forward (CPFC).

What did Noni Madueke write?

As you can see below, the London-born forward thinks highly of Rak-Sakyi.

Madueke describes the Crystal Palace academy graduate as ‘cold’ – the forward definitely had ice running through his veins against Everton yesterday.

Just imagine an attack featuring both Madueke and Rak-Sakyi.

It would be a joy for the Selhurst Park faithful to behold.

Will Crystal Palace sign Noni Madueke?

In our view, it was possible at the start of the summer, but Madueke’s early form this season has put his name up in lights.

According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool and Tottenham sent scouts to watch the 19-year-old, who PSV Eindhoven now value at £34m.

Madueke has scored six goals in nine games so far this term.

Additionally, he has just signed a new contract until 2025, making it even harder to lure him away from the Netherlands.

As of now, it seems like Madueke has outgrown the south Londoners.
