Leeds United has been able to stave off interest thus far and is not eager to move the winger.
According to sources, West Ham United may soon give up on their chase of Crysencio Summerville because they are becoming increasingly impatient with their inability to close deals.Being one of the first teams to test the waters in West Yorkshire, the Hammers were connected to Summerville earlier this month. Reports even stated they had approached Leeds regarding their winger. Though Julen Lopetegui’s team is reported to have placed an offer on the table, Brighton is thought to have publicly expressed interest in the Dutchman.Leeds is not actively seeking to sell Summerville, and they will not consider offers that are lower than their valuation—reports place the price tag as high as £40 million. The specifics of the offer are unknown. Furthermore, according to talkSPORT, West Ham is “on the verge” of quitting and focusing on other possibilities because they are unwilling to spend more than £20 million.
According to the source, Leeds is “holding their nerve” when it comes to Summerville and believes they can seek a similar sum for the winger who beat Gray to win the Championship Player of the Season award, in light of the £40 million transfer of Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month. The Hammers won’t be able to justify the nearly twofold increase in price that that price tag implies they will have to make.The east London club, which has previously seen multiple agreements fall through at different stages, is becoming increasingly frustrated. Although Summerville appears to be the most recent to lose interest, it is by no means the most sophisticated method of collapsing.
The time is now to subscribe to Graham Smyth’s Inside Elland Road, which provides unparalleled and comprehensive coverage of Leeds United.The Premier League team had advanced far further in its negotiations to sign Noussair Mazraoui of Bayern Munich and Jean-Clair Todibo of OGC Nice, but neither player’s agreement was completed. Removing their interest in Summerville will only make them more irate, but Leeds’ unwavering position is working to repel interest thus far.A number of elite teams are still closely monitoring Summerville, and as the August 30 deadline draws near, Leeds will probably be put to the test. Premier League teams Crystal Palace, Liverpool, and Fulham are among those showing interest in the 22-year-old, and Stade Rennais in France is considering a transfer for the player to take Désiré Doué’s spot.
The YEP is aware that although Leeds does not intend to sell Summerville, they cannot completely rule out his departure and will take bids into consideration that they believe are suitable. Additionally, losing Glen Kamara was not planned, but when Rennes made an £8 million offer, Elland Road officialsThe winger missed Saturday’s 2-0 win over Schalke due to a hamstring injury, but he did set up Mateo Joseph with a brilliant pass during the 4-1 win over Hannover 96. Summerville, on the other hand, has shown no obvious desire to leave Leeds this summer and looked sharp during last week’s pre-season trip to Germany.
