Chelsea are reportedly in talks with Crysencio Summerville’s camp over a potential move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea are back in the race for Crysencio Summerville, having recently held talks with the winger’s entourage. Leeds United may no longer have the power or authority to block the Dutchman’s exit, as he will attract massive interest following a tremendous season in the EFL Championship.
Chelsea in Crysencio Summerville talks
Chelsea are attacking the summer window for players in different positions, including a left winger, to come into the squad. The pursuit of Nico Williams shows the Blues are serious about recruiting a player for that role and are prioritising the Spaniard’s signing. However, Barcelona’s chase overcomplicates the transfer saga and their delay in paying the release clause.
In any case, Chelsea are aware that placing all their eggs in the Nico Williams basket would prove risky. While they have the means to conclude the deal for the Spaniard, they will want another alternative target in place should the Athletic Club star choose another destination over Stamford Bridge.
Crysencio Summerville might be their latest target, with Chelsea reportedly in touch with the Dutchman’s camp. Leeds United are demanding £30-35 million for the winger, something they feel is valid considering the kind of form displayed by the attacker last season in the Championships. Leeds United missed out on promotion despite a 90-point haul, while the player contributed to 31 goals across all competitions.
Chelsea previously held an interest in the winger and have now seemingly revived their chase of the Dutchman. Will Summerville prove to be the right alternative to the likes of Williams? The question remains, although Chelsea will certainly face competition from other clubs for the winger this summer.
Summerville attracting massive Premier League interest
Chelsea are now in the race, but they are only the latest side to show an interest in Summerville. Newcastle United are keen, while Liverpool were previously linked with the winger. Either way, the £30-35 million-rated Dutch winger will have some options to choose from, although Stamford Bridge can be a very attractive destination after all.
Meanwhile, Leeds United somehow managed to keep some of their key stars straight after their demotion to the Championship. However, after failing to get back into the Premier League, Leeds United may be forced to sell some of their current stars, who are all inching to leave the club for top-flight football.
