West Ham United have reportedly lodged an initial offer to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Crysencio Summerville is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers have submitted an initial proposal to sign the 22-year-old in the summer transfer window. However, they consider him very expensive, even though they have held talks with the Leeds United attacker’s entourage.
How has Crysencio Summerville fared at Leeds United?
Crysencio Summerville has become one of the most highly sought-after attackers in the market this summer after his most productive campaign as a professional footballer. The Dutchman has been with Leeds United since July 2021 after spending his formative years in his homeland.
While going down to the EFL Championship could have cost Leeds United dearly, Summerville remained at Elland Road. The 22-year-old was one of the best players in the second division last season and contributed to 31 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 21 times and providing ten assists.
However, failure to return to the Premier League might signal the end of Crysensio Summerville’s time at Leeds United. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, with the latest update linking the Dutch attacker with a summer move to West Ham United.
Premier League return on the horizon?
West Ham United’s interest in Crysencio Summerville is understandable. The Hammers are in a spot of bother over the long-term future of Lucas Paqueta, whose scandal around flouting betting rules has put his career in danger. So, it behoves West Ham to scour the market for a wide attacker in the summer transfer window.
Several candidates, including Alexis Saelemaekers, have thus emerged on West Ham United’s radar over a possible summer move. However, Summerville is also a viable target, with West Ham making an initial proposal to Leeds United for the 22-year-old Dutchman.
The Hammers are also in talks with Crysencio Summerville’s entourage. However, the Dutch attacker might be too expensive for West Ham United, while competition from other suitors, including AS Roma, can also play spoilsport for the East London club.
