The Leeds United forward has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window.
Leeds United forward Crysencio Summerville has been in excellent form for Daniel Farke‘s side this season, with the 22-year-old linked with a move away from Elland Road in the summer.
The Dutchman is one of the few players to profit from the Whites’ Premier League relegation last season, becoming a regular in the squad and shining throughout the Championship season thus far.
Despite not scoring in Leeds’ past four league games, Summerville has 16 goals and nine assists in all competitions, repaying Marcelo Bielsa and Victor Orta‘s faith in him when he joined the Yorkshire club in 2020.
The latest on Crysencio Summerville
It has been reported that Chelsea are interested in signing Summerville from Leeds during the summer transfer window.
Chelsea, along with Brighton, Aston Villa, and Liverpool, are expected to compete for the forward’s services this summer.
Summerville is under contract until 2026, which means the London club would have to pay a large sum for his services, with Leeds potentially seeking between £30 million and £40 million for the Netherlands under-21 international, who is believed to be on the verge of his first senior call up for the Oranje and whose £20 million release clause is no longer active.
Brian Deane makes Summerville admission amid Chelsea speculation.
Former Leeds striker Brian Deane feels Summerville would find it tough to turn down a summer move to Stamford Bridge, but insists the price for the 22-year-old’s services must be reasonable.
The 56-year-old spent two periods at Elland Road, netting 38 goals in 169 games, and told FLW that if Farke’s side is promoted this season, they must invest properly in the squad.
“You’re not going to turn down Chelsea,” Deane told Offers.Bet.
“The issue with Chelsea is that they are constantly in the process of improving. When you look at who is already in the group, some of them, such as Raheem Sterling, fulfil the same position, but Chelsea may be planning for the next level.
“If they obtain the proper money for Summerville and can invest it well, it makes sense since the club’s survival is ultimately what matters most. I know he’s become a fan favourite, and they’ll be sad to see him go.
Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville’s worth
Summerville, who has recently moved from the Championship to the Premier League, would be valued similarly to Emi Buendia and Joao Pedro.
If Leeds succeeds, his fees will most certainly exceed £40 million. The Dutchman is currently one of the finest players in the division, but he should advance to the top level.
