Newcastle United will reportedly compete with Liverpool for 22-year-old Leeds United attacker Crysencio Summerville.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Crysencio Summerville is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Leeds United attacker is also a target for Liverpool and AC Milan. Meanwhile, the Whites are keen on retaining the 22-year-old beyond the summer transfer window and tying him to a new contract.
The Rise of Crysensio Summerville this season
Crysencio Summerville is finally blossoming into a top-notch attacker after taking his time to establish a foothold in the first-team squad at Leeds United. The Dutchman had not set the stage alight in the Premier League but has been an exceptional performer in the Championship this season.
The 22-year-old has been instrumental in Leeds United being in the thick of the Championship title race this season. Summerville has contributed to 27 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions, finding the back of the net 18 times while providing nine assists. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs.
Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen, although the report by Football Transfer also names AC Milan as one of the suitors. However, Summerville might remain in England beyond the summer transfer window, with Liverpool and Newcastle United vying for his signature. Meanwhile, Leeds United will look to keep him at Elland Road heading into the 2024/24 season.
Big move on the horizon?
Liverpool’s interest in Crysencio Summerville is understandable. Mohamed Salah faces an uncertain future at Anfield amid widespread speculation linking him with many Saudi Pro League clubs. Several candidates have thus emerged on Liverpool’s radar, with the Leeds United star being a viable target.
As for Newcastle United, Miguel Almiron faces an uncertain future at St. James’ Park heading into the summer transfer window. So, it behoves the Tyneside outfit to invest in a top-notch wide attacker, with Federico Chiesa among the club’s targets. But Summerville is also an option worth considering.
Leeds United might succeed in keeping hold of the 22-year-old Dutchman beyond the summer transfer window if they return to the Premier League this season. However, it will be interesting to see if Newcastle United or Liverpool can turn his head.
