Leeds United claimed to have a player that has the ability to compete at the highest levels of the game

One of the most talented young teams in the Championship is Leeds United’s.

According to Transfermarket, only Sunderland’s average age of the players they have employed so far this season is lower than Leeds’, at 24.1.

Daniel Farke’s success this term has been built on young talent, including 23-year-olds Crysencio Summerville, Willy Gnonto, Archie Grey, Georginio Rutter, and Ethan Ampadu.

Four of those players were rewarded at the recent EFL awards presentation for their exceptional seasons. Summerville was named Championship POTS, Grey was named Young POTS, and Apprentice of the Year went to Grey. Rutter and Ampadu also joined the former in the TOTS.

Furthermore, as a Championship team, it is regrettable that outstanding performances would inevitably draw interest from other sources, as evidenced by past examples.

The former coach of Crysencio Summerville believes he can succeed in football.

Two players who have already been connected to significant moves elsewhere are Summerville and Grey. According to rumours, they are both worth more than elite young players like Fermin Lopez of Barcelona and Jarell Quansah of Liverpool.

Summerville is apparently a top priority for Bayer Leverkusen, although German rivals Borussia Dortmund have made reference to Grey as a possible target.

Milan van Ewijk of Coventry City has praised Summerville as the finest player in the league, and now one of his former coaches, Claudio Braga, has talked about his potential in an interview with the Athletic.

Braga thinks Summerville has the ability to reach the absolute top and is optimistic that he will return to the Premier League with Leeds this season.

This year, I find him to be more fascinating since I watch him play and solve problems in the middle of the pitch. He was more of a winger with us, constantly in the line and dribbling vertically.

“It’s up to him, but any manager who works with him must not kill the talent. Give him space to find solutions and show his quality. He needs to feel the confidence to do his thing in an attacking way. That gives you the power and the strength, everything in his character,” the manager said. “But the speed and his power in the one-against-one, it doesn’t matter if he’s on the side, up front, in behind. It’s what makes him special.”

If promoted, Leeds must offer Summerville a new contract.

At the end of the season, Summerville’s contract will only have two years left, thus if promotion is earned, negotiations for a new one must begin.

Even if teams try to wrest him away from Elland Road, Leeds would be in a strong position to retain him if they were to return to the Premier League.
