Crysencio Summerville holds talks as Leeds United transfer looms

Thu 18 July 2024 10:10, UK

Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville’s agent has held talks with two clubs this week including his preferred destination of Chelsea, according to TEAMtalk.

 

TEAMtalk reported on 17 July that Chelsea and French side Rennes have been in talks with Summerville’s intermediaries, with the Dutchman’s heart set on a move to the former if the opportunity presents itself.

 

The 22-year-old was crowned the Championship’s Player of the Year last season and is being chased by a number of clubs, following the Whites’ failure to achieve promotion back to the Premier League in May.

While the £40million sale of young starlet Archie Gray to Tottenham helped to ease the club’s profit and sustainability concerns, Kamara’s departure suggests the Whites are willing to sell other first-team stars.

 

Summerville is undoubtedly the biggest of all these stars having scored 21 goals and assisted 10 in all competitions last season, with Chelsea and Rennes far from the only clubs interested in signing him.

Liverpool, Newcastle, PSG and Bayer Leverkusen are just some of the other sides named in TEAMtalk’s report, and all six have the financial capability to test the resolve of a side in England’s second tier.

 

It’s clear that Summerville’s form last season warranted playing at the highest level the following campaign, but it remains to be seen if the Whites will give in to any offers they’re surely set to receive.
