Roma have also had Summerville on their list this summer, as Romano notes elsewhere in his X post above, so perhaps they’ll emerge as a concrete option again later in the window.

Summerville transfer: Is he good enough for Chelsea or Liverpool?

Given that West Ham’s efforts seem likely to be in vain, could we see bigger clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool come back in for Summerville after previously scouting him?

Crysencio Summerville to West Ham, Liverpool, or Chelsea?

Arne Slot could surely do with making some changes in attack this summer after inheriting a Liverpool squad that ended last season poorly, and which has the ageing Mohamed Salah and injury-prone Diogo Jota up front at the moment.

Chelsea, meanwhile, could surely find that Summerville is an upgrade on flops like Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk, even if he’d represent a bit of a gamble due to his lack of top level experience.

Aston Villa transfer news: £100m duo highlighted as ‘more realistic’ targets than Nico Williams

CJ — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 21:28:49 +0000

Aston Villa have a ‘more realistic’ chance of signing Crysencio Summerville or Morgan Gibbs-White than Nico Williams this summer, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The Midlands club are a more attractive prospect in this summer’s transfer market than in previous years after finishing fourth in the Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League.

Villa emerged as a shock name linked to the signing of Athletic Club star Williams, who stood out as one of the players of the tournament as Spain went all the way at Euro 2024 — named Man of the Match for the 2-1 win over England in the final and named in the UEFA Team of the Tournament after notching two goals and an assist.

Unai Emery may well be on the lookout for a high-quality winger with France international Moussa Diaby heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Aston Villa to be priced out of Williams deal

However, according to Jacobs, Villa are yet to enter the race for Williams, with Barcelona and Chelsea more prominent suitors for the winger’s signature.

But even they face a battle to get a deal over the line, with high wage demands putting both clubs off.

“Aston Villa have not to date entered the race for Nico Williams,” Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT. Barcelona still remain the club to watch. Chelsea haven’t entirely walked away but won’t rekindle interest unless the overall package drops. They made the decision before Euro 2024 and nothing has changed since.

“Barcelona are hoping Williams either drops his wage or accepts personal terms in a structure that suits Barca given their precarious financial situation. This could involve deferred wages, for example.”

Rather than breaking the bank for Williams, Jacobs believes Villa may be better off pursuing the likes of Summerville of Leeds United or Nottingham Forest’s Gibbs-White — valued at £40m and £60m, respectively.

“Villa would be handed a healthy budget if Diaby is sold on their terms, but Williams’ wages are the real issue for potential suitors,” Jacobs added. “I think there is a more realistic chance Villa look at players like Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville or Morgan Gibbs-White at Nottingham Forest.”

Leeds exodus set to continue with major star’s agents having spoken to Chelsea

Jason Pettigrove — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 07:26:50 +0000

It’s not been the greatest summer for anyone connected with Leeds United Football Club.

A failure to get back into the Premier League at the first time of asking was always going to have lasting consequences, but with new owners at the helm, surely Leeds supporters wouldn’t have contemplated just how bad things have already becoming in terms of transfers out of players.

Archie Gray has left for Tottenham Hotspur, Glen Kamara has signed for Rennes, Charlie Cresswell is at Toulouse, Diego Llorente and Marc Roca have been signed permanently by Real Betis, Jack Harrison has gone back to Everton on loan, and the Toffees are circling for Willy Gnonto.

Leeds ace Crysencio Summerville could sign for Chelsea

If that weren’t enough, TeamTalk note that the undoubted star of Daniel Farke’s side in 2023/24, Crysencio Summerville, could be on the move to Chelsea.

According to the outlet, the player’s agents have already been in talks with the West London outfit, and it’s apparently the 22-year-old’s preference to move to Stamford Bridge.

Leeds ace Crysencio Summerville to Chelsea?

With 21 goals and nine assists last season, per WhoScored, it’s no wonder that the Blues appear interested, and his loss would be keenly felt by Leeds, perhaps more than any other player.

It would certainly make Farke’s job of trying to get the all whites up again that much more difficult.

They can consider themselves unlucky that a wobble came right at the end of the 2023/24 campaign ultimately condemning them to the lottery of the Play-Offs.

Whatever form they’d shown previously deserted them in the final, with victors, Southampton, taking their place amongst England’s elite.

With so many players moving on from Leeds this summer, it’ll be harder than ever for Farke, and the potential loss of Summerville will underscore the difficulties that lie ahead.

Newcastle United keen on signing 19-goal attacker ahead of Chelsea

Ahad Shaukat — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 06:52:14 +0000

Newcastle United have started their summer transfer business by strengthening their defese.

The Magpies have managed to sign free agent Lloyd Kelly this summer after losing two of their starting centre-backs to long term injuries.

Eddie Howe will be given the budget to spend on new signings this summer and with no concerns regarding the Profit and Sustainability Rules after the sales of Yankuba Minteh and Elliott Anderson, the Magpies are ready to bring fresh faces to the club.

Newcastle United are looking to sign a wide attacker this summer and they have identified Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville as their target, according to information provided by journalist Ben Jacobs to GiveMeSport.

The Dutch attacker scored 19 goals last season and provided 8 assists in a highly successful individual campaign for Leeds United.

Jacobs told GiveMeSport:

“There is interest in him (Summerville). We know Brighton have taken a look. We know that he could still be on Chelsea’s radar. Newcastle are also interested in the player. So it will still be a big surprise if between now and the end of the window, given how many clubs want players in his position, it will be a surprise if somebody doesn’t make a formal offer for Summerville.

“Then ultimately, Leeds will speak to the player, and they’ll have a big decision to make. But if there are exits at Leeds, it will be because it suits all parties, rather than because Leeds are scrambling, financially speaking, or are forced to sell.”

The Toon Army will have to beat Chelsea and Brighton to sign the attacking player this summer.

The season he had with the Whites was expected to attract interest from some of the biggest clubs in England.

Newcastle United want a right-winger this summer

Howe wanted to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace this summer but the French winger decided to move to Bayern Munich.

Now the Magpies have identified Summerville as an alternative option and they are determined to move for him to add a wide attacker to their squad.

The Leeds attacker was named Championship Player of the year last season and his fine form for the Whites have not gone unnoticed.

Newcastle latest Premier League club to show interest in 22-year-old Championship star

Charlie Patrick — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 21:05:34 +0000

Newcastle are one of a number of Premier League clubs who have expressed an interest in signing Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville according to Ben Jacobs.

The Magpies are looking to strengthen in the wide areas with Miguel Almiron expected to swap St James’ Park for the Saudi Pro League, whilst the club are said to hold an interest in Jarrod Bowen and Noni Madueke, although any deal for either player would be difficult to do.

Newcastle have so far signed Lloyd Kelly on a free transfer to bolster their defensive ranks whist goalkeepers John Ruddy and Odysseas Vlachodimos have also joined the club.

Newcastle interested in Summerville

Newcastle currently have Harvey Barnes and Anthony Gordon on the left, but Almiron’s potential departure would leave them with a void to fill on the right hand side.

Jacobs has reported that the Magpies are interested in Leeds star Summerville, who is predominantly a left winger, who can also play down the right.

“There is interest in him (Summerville),” he told GIVEMESPORT.

Newcastle are the latest Premier League club to express an interest in Summerville.

“We know Brighton have taken a look. We know that he could still be on Chelsea’s radar, Newcastle are also interested in the player.

“So it will still be a big surprise if between now and the end of the window, given how many clubs want players in his position, it will be a surprise if somebody doesn’t make a formal offer for Summerville.

Summerville was brilliant for Leeds last season and scored 19 league goals and provided nine assists in 43 league appearances, which saw him named Championship Player of the Year, and the winger is clearly good enough to be playing in the Premier League.

Leeds have already sold teenage star Archie Gray to Tottenham, whilst Wilfried Gnonto is attracting interest from Everton.

If Newcastle were able to add Summerville to their ranks they would certainly have a young and exciting crop of wingers to choose from next season.

Paul Mitchell working to sign marquee striker for Newcastle now

Ahad Shaukat — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 11:14:58 +0000

Newcastle United have gone through some changes at the club this summer.

The Magpies have lost Sporting Director Dan Ashworth to Manchester United and with the arrival of Paul Mitchell at the club, they are actively looking to make new signings and address issues in their squad.

Eddie Howe’s team had a difficult season last time out and they failed to make it to any European competition.

Next season, they will have only the league and the cup competitions to focus on but Howe will be hoping to avoid the injury crisis his team suffered last season.

GiveMeSport reports that Mitchell is considering an “exciting option” to add another focal point to their attacking line.

The three players mentioned in the report are Pedro Neto of Wolves, Noni Madueke of Chelsea and Leeds United attacker Crysencio Summerville.

All those three players can help the Newcastle attack next season and create a solid partnership with current attacker Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.

The Magpies are looking for a right-winger this summer as they prepare to Miguel Almiron to potentially leave the club.

Newcastle United will sign another defender

Apart from signing a right-winger, another centre-back is also expected to join the club despite the club signing Lloyd Kelly as a free agent.

The long term injuries to Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles have forced the Magpies to enter the market to sign new defenders.

Howe will be hoping to take his team back to the Champions League after finishing in the top four of the Premier League next season.

Leeds grant permission to best player to leave Elland Road

Ahad Shaukat — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 12:17:11 +0000

The Sunday Mirror reports that Crysencio Summerville will be free to depart Leeds United and that a move to the Premier League is expected.

The striker is being pursued by Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.

Leeds failed to get promoted to the Premier League and that has put the future of a number of players in doubt at Elland Road.

Summerville is one of the players facing an uncertain future at the club.

The Whites have already sold Archie Gray to Tottenham in a big money move and now they are ready to cash in on the Dutch attacker.

Although there is no urgent need to sell Summerville since their financial concerns have been eased by the sale of Gray.

However, the player is attracting interest from Premier League sides after a fine season in the Championship, in which he scored 20 league goals and provided nine assists.

His contributions were crucial in getting Daniel Farke’s team to the Wembley play-off final of the EFL Championship.

Crysencio Summerville could leave Leeds United.

The footballer, who is valued at £40 million, won the award of Sky Bet Championship footballer of the Season.

His departure will be a huge blow for the Whites who will struggle to win promotion without him next season.

He will be hard to replace in the market as not many talented players will want to join the struggling Championship side.

Leeds United in disarray as three big names set to leave Elland Road

Jason Pettigrove — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 06:33:54 +0000

It looks like it’s going to be quite the summer for Daniel Farke and Leeds United.

This time last year, the German was having to contend with the ambitions of new owners, 49ers Enterprises, alongside those players who didn’t see their immediate future at Elland Road.

That meant that Farke didn’t really have a settled side until mid-September, and yet he still came within a whisker of guiding them back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Summerville, Gnonto and Rutter all set to leave Leeds

That he didn’t has already been brought into sharp focus with forced sale of Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur.

With a family history at the club, it would surely been with a heavy heart that the club had to accept that their player would need to be sold.

If that wasn’t bad enough for Leeds fans to digest, it looks like there could be worse to follow.

Leeds United are preparing to lose all three of Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Wilfried Gnonto.

According to Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the trio of Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Willy Gnonto are also all likely to follow Gray out of the exit door if acceptable bids are tabled for each of the trio.

Losing just one would be bad enough but if all three jump ship, that would severely weaken the Yorkshire club’s attempts to get promoted at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Such is the fall-out from still being marooned in the English second-tier.

The outlet quote sources as saying the players believe that they have something to offer at the top level, rather than spending another season in the English Championship.

If Farke and his superiors are forced to accept that they’re powerless to keep the players, the best the club can hope for is that they maximise any transfer fee for each, allowing them to strengthen and give Leeds the best chance of promotion on this occasion.

Newcastle targeting move for attacker who scored 20 goals last season

Ahad Shaukat — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 06:40:16 +0000

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe will be busy this summer as he has a lot of issues to address concerning his squad.

The Magpies suffered an injury crisis last season and lost two of their centre-backs and their goalkeeper to long term injuries.

Those injuries hampered their season and that has made the club decide that they need depth in the squad along with more quality to once again challenge for a place in the Champions League.

In order to do that, they are targeting a move for a wide attacker and according to information provided by journalist Ben Jacobs to GiveMeSport, the Magpies could make a move for Leeds United attacker Crysencio Summerville.

With Leeds failing to win promotion to the Premier League, a lot of their players are expected to leave the club this summer.

Archie Gray has already joined Tottenham and more departures can be expected in the coming weeks.

Summerville was their best player last season as he scored 20 goals in the Championship and added nine assists to his numbers.

His output was outstanding in the second tier of English football and his fine form has alerted some of the biggest clubs in the country.
