YOUNG GUNS HIT TARGET

Rak-Sakyi & Leaburn shine for Addicks

MOVE over Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli – there are two new kids in town!

Arsenal’s young guns might be hitting the headlines as the London club target their first Premier League title in 19 years but, south of the Thames, Charlton duo Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Miles Leaburn are making their own waves.

Early last month, 21-year-old duo Saka and Martinelli were the youngest players to have scored double figures in English football’s top four divisions this season.

That was until on-loan Crystal Palace 20-year-old RakSakyi netted his 10th of the campaign during a 2-1 win at Cambridge.

Just a week later, his Valley team-mate Leaburn then knocked him off the perch at the age of 19 in a 1-1 draw against Wycombe.

Leaburn had moved on to 12 ahead of the Easter programme – one ahead of RakSakyi, who was a year above his striking partner when the pair were Chelsea academy hopefuls.
