After the game, the teen sensation was fully initiated into the team as he danced to his senior colleague.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Rak-Sakyi was spotted hitting a popular local Ghanaian dance known as Azonto. A body movement dance that requires a person to move their hands and legs in unique ways.
The Chelsea youth star will be hoping for regular game time with the senior side after his first European game.
Meanwhile, the Blues will welcome London rivals Arsenal to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday, November 10, 2024.
Rak-Sakyi has made three appearances in the Premier League 2 for Chelsea this season, per Transfermarkt.
Rak-Sakyi eligible to represent Ghana
Despite representing England at the U17 and U18 levels, the 19-year-old defensive midfielder remains eligible to feature for the Black Stars of Ghana.
The Ghana Football Association has been on a hunt for players of Ghanaian descent born abroad in the past few years, leading to the recruitment of fellow England-born players Antoine Semenyo and Tariq Lamptey.
Rak-Sakyi is reportedly one of the names on the FA's talent hunt list.
