Leeds United have reportedly slapped a £30-40 million price tag on highly sought-after winger Crysencio Summerville ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Football Insider, Leeds United are poised to set a substantial price tag of approximately £30-40 million for the departure of Crysencio Summerville during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Crysencio Summerville’s Leeds future hinges on Premier League promotion
When the Whites gained promotion to the Premier League in 2020, multiple signings were made to have an instant impact. But one has certainly taken his time to blossom and could now return the club millions.
Summerville was a £1.3 million purchase from Feyenoord and was among many arrivals in the summer of 2020. He joined alongside the likes of Raphinha, Rodrigo, Helder Costa, and Illan Meslier. However, while the majority of those players are now gone, Summerville’s cheap move is now set to make Leeds United millions if they choose to sell him in the upcoming window.
The Dutchman has had his best season so far in 2023/24, helping Leeds United’s bid for an instant promotion back to the Premier League following their relegation from the Premier League. In 43 games across all competitions this season, he has scored 18 goals and registered nine assists, and he is already reportedly receiving interest from clubs in the Premier League and Europe.
Predominantly playing off of either the left or right wing, the stunning total of goals he has scored this season places him at the top of Leeds United’s top scorers list, while he has also been named the Championship Player of the Year. In an ideal scenario, Daniel Farke’s side does not want to sell the winger and wants to tie Summerville down to a new deal, with his current contract set to expire in 2026.
The Whites are still in the hunt to secure their return to the Premier League at the first time of asking, but Daniel Farke’s side must improve their faltering form in the final weeks of the 2023/24 campaign, having dropped to third in the Championship table with just three games left to play.
They must clinch promotion to stand any chance of keeping one of the second-tier’s brightest stars. If they fall short, Summerville is likely to be playing top-flight football elsewhere. Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are among a slew of top clubs considering a move for Summerville during the upcoming transfer window. Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham United, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and FC Porto are all keeping tabs on the Dutchman’s situation.
Leeds reportedly value Summerville at £30-40 million as the end of the 2023/24 season approaches, with the summer transfer window looming large.
