Those close to Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville felt compelled to persuade the forward to commit to the club this summer amid rumours of his departure.
According to The Athletic, Summerville did concur with the advise that was being given to him.
Leeds fans will be relieved he stayed at Elland Road after an outstanding display against Norwich City last weekend.
Burnley made a late £20 million approach for Summerville in the summer, but Daniel Farke was adamant that the winger stay.
A decision that now looks crucial.
Former Leeds striker Ross McCormack has already stated that he is sick of telling people how wonderful Summerville is.
Summerville was on the left wing of Leeds’ attack against Norwich on Saturday, which is now looking quite potent.
Joel Piroe (five), Georgino Rutter (two), and Summerville (four) now have 11 goals between them, a very healthy total for a Leeds forward line that is still getting to know one other.
Keeping Summerville was critical for Leeds’ future success.
Leeds are presently third in the Championship table, thanks to their better play between the two international vacations.
Although it took some time, Daniel Farke now has a team that plays in his vein.
And, while catching Ipswich Town or Leicester City appears to be a big goal, Leeds will believe they have the squad to accomplish so.
Furthermore, with Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto remaining on the bench on Saturday, the squad depth appears to be adequate.
Sam Byram has been the season’s biggest surprise, a player who has kept his spot despite all those on the bench.
While Leeds‘ defence has improved this season, the attacking line, which includes Summerville, will undoubtedly be vital.
With that much skill, Farke’s Leeds should be one of the division’s most feared teams.
