Many Championship clubs pushed hard to take Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on loan until the final hours of transfer deadline day, according to the Sunday Mirror
The 20-year-old winger spent last season on loan with Charlton Athletic and impressed with his commanding attacking displays.
Rak-Sakyi made 23-goal contributions in 45 League One appearances last term and made himself a man in demand this summer.

The Premier League club, however, were reluctant to let the player leave due to a lack of forward options in the squad.
And the Championship sides who wanted the 20-year-old were left disappointed.
Rak-Sakyi so far, has only managed to secure a seven-minute substitute appearance in the Premier League.
The exciting prospect will hope to get more regular game time in Roy Hodgson’s squad this season.

Crystal Palace concluded the transfer window having signed four players, and manager Roy Hodgson says he is content with their business.
In came midfielder Jefferson Lerma on a free transfer from Bournemouth, the 19-year-old forward Matheus Franca from Brazilian side Flamengo, goalkeeper Dean Henderson from Manchester United and Arsenal centre-back Rob Holding. Palace lost Wilfried Zaha on a free to Galatasaray after his contract expired, but otherwise kept hold of their best players, with Michael Olise’s decision to sign a new contract, in particular, feeling like a coup in itself.
The transfer saga surrounding the 21-year-old has seen fresh twists and turns on deadline day as well.
PSG have been keen to move him to Eintracht Frankfurt as part of a deal to sign Randal Kolo Muani but the forward has rejected multiple offers from the German club.
West Ham were his preferred choice but the Hammers are yet to make a concrete move to sign and his camp have been in talks with Crystal Palace.
According to French journalist Manu Lonjon, the forward and his entourage have agreed on a proposed loan move to Selhurst Park.
However, the twist is that they have failed to inform PSG about their discussions with the south London club.
It has left PSG, who are pushing to sell him on deadline day rather than accept a loan move, furious.
Palace have a deal in place with the striker but they are running out of time to work out an agreement with an angry PSG.
