Crysencio Summerville’s recent form could be bad news for Daniel Farke in January, since Leeds United was rumoured to be open to offers for him over the summer.
On October 23, Athletic journalist Phil Hay reported that Leeds was rumoured to have been open to proposals for the talented Dutchman over the summer.
While Feyenoord, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth were considering whether to make a move for the winger, Burnley made a late bid that was turned down.
On Monday, October 23, Hay gave a glimpse into the summer developments involving the flying winger in his most recent column for The Athletic.
Burnley pursued Summerville in the closing moments, but Leeds repelled them without giving him much opportunity to argue, the author claimed.
The posture they took at the beginning of June, when they were open to bids in the case of Summerville, has completely changed.
“A bid from Turf Moor then could have easily gone in a different direction.”
Summerville reportedly received advice from those around him to stay at Elland Road, and it appears that the Leeds United treasure is now reaping the benefits with some incredible performances, notably at Carrow Road on saturday.
The Dutchman had a justifiably high average rating of 9.4/10 from SofaScore, but it was his all-around performance at Carrow Road that demonstrated why he is one of the first names on the teamsheet and Farke’s primary man at Elland Road.
Throughout his 89 minutes on the pitch, Summerville completed six key passes, completed five of his six dribbles successfully, won eight duels, registered four shots, 11 touches in the penalty area of Norwich City, seven passes into the final third and recovered the ball five times.
It may not come as a surprise to see clubs like Crystal Palace step up their interest in the Dutchman given how desperate some of the aforementioned teams are for offensive quality right now.
Because Summerville undoubtedly has unfinished business in the division, the Premier League is always a desirable league for Championship stars. As a result, Farke may have to deal with yet another transfer setback in the January transfer window.
The Elland Road rookie has developed into such a crucial player thus far, making a potential departure in the winter completely unfathomable.
