A ‘very significant’ update on Crysencio Summerville has emerged at Leeds.
Crysencio Summerville, a Leeds United winger, has attracted Premier League interest ahead of the January transfer window.
Crysencio Summerville has been ‘integral’ to Leeds United‘s promotion campaign, and journalist Ben Jacobs has alerted GIVEMESPORT of a ‘very significant’ update on whether he might leave Elland Road in January.
Summerville was not among those who departed the Yorkshire giants following their relegation from the Premier League on the last day of last season, allowing them to recuperate more than £25 million during the summer window.
The Dutchman has become one of the first names on the team sheet under new manager Daniel Farke, who is hoping to add to the two Championship titles he won at Norwich City, but his performances have also raised questions about his future.
Premier League clubs are interested in Summerville.
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Summerville is being courted by a number of Premier League clubs ahead of the winter window opening for business at the turn of the year, after turning down multiple possibilities to start on a new challenge during the summer.
According to the Italian journalist, the winger, who has been on Leeds‘ books since signing for £1.3 million from Eredivisie side Feyenoord three years ago, was on the radar of Bournemouth, Everton, and Burnley ahead of the September 1 deadline as they sought to offer a quickfire route back into the top flight.
Burnley attempted to profit from the Whites’ relegation by making a £20 million bid during the final stages of the summer window, but the proposal was rejected outright as they were frustrated by his current employers’ determination to keep him on board.
Leeds‘ decision to keep Summerville has been vindicated thus far in the season, as he has scored six goals and provided four assists for his teammates in 12 games.
According to transfer insider Dean Jones, the 22-year-old’s performances have increased his value beyond the £25 million barrier, with him playing a major role in Farke’s side’s bid for a quick return to the Premier League.
Leeds are encouraged by the fact that Summerville’s £15,000-per-week deal is not set to expire until the summer of 2026, giving them a strong negotiating position as possible bidders test their resolve in the coming months.
