According to a recent report, Crysencio Summerville looks set to depart Leeds United, potentially making a return to the Premier League. The Sunday Mirror revealed that Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace are all vying to secure the winger’s services, with his market value estimated at £40 million. Paris Saint-Germain had also previously expressed interest in the 22-year-old talent.
Certainly! Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

**What did you miss most about football?**
Everyone always says it’s the camaraderie and the dressing room that you miss, and it is really because I spent 15 years at Wolves and I met some fantastic blokes. I talk regularly with John Richards, Scouse [John McAlle], we all got on well together, because at the end of the day, you had 11 blokes who worked hard together to get three points – or two points as it was. There was great camaraderie here and there were plenty of jokers in the pack, but there were serious ones, professional ones – Scouse and Derek Parkin were really good professionals and they were people I really looked up to. There was also the build-up to the matches on the Saturdays which I miss. I used to get butterflies and would hate the two hours before the match, but that’s what I always would get, and I genuinely missed it when it was gone. When I go to Molineux now and watch the games and hear the crowd, I always wish I was out there again because that’s what you miss.

Sheffield Wednesday has had a successful summer, nearing ten new signings. However, they might miss out on one potential addition, Mickaël Nadé. Reports surfaced that Nadé has become a target for the club to strengthen their defense. The 25-year-old center-back, whose contract with Saint-Étienne recently expired, is also being pursued by West Bromwich Albion. Le Progrès indicated that West Brom is ‘one step ahead’ and hopes to finalize the deal by early next week. Despite having defenders like Dominic Iorfa and Michael Ihiekwe, Wednesday could benefit from Nadé’s natural left-footedness, which adds balance to their current options. However, if West Brom succeeds in securing Nadé, it won’t matter for the Owls.
Regis Le Bris began his Sunderland tenure with a resounding victory at South Shields. Former Sunderland academy coach Elliott Dickman praised the club’s young talents and urged them to seize the opportunity to impress the new head coach. In his debut match, Le Bris saw his team secure a 5-0 win, with first-half goals from Patrick Roberts, Trai Hume, Chris Rigg, Eliezer Mayenda, and Adil Aouchiche. Numerous academy players, including Tommy Watson, Harrison Jones, and Ben Crompton, were given a chance to shine in the second half, showcasing their potential.
Dickman noted the difficulty of breaking into the first-team environment but expressed optimism about the young players’ prospects. He highlighted the progress of Chris Rigg, Tommy Watson, Caden Kelly, and Harrison Jones, emphasizing the importance of impressing the new manager. The win at South Shields positively impacted Le Bris, who now focuses on the team’s upcoming trip to Spain to face Nottingham Forest and CD Eldense. Dickman believes the match was a great start for Le Bris and will help prepare Sunderland for a challenging season ahead.
Philippe Clement was defiant as Rangers’ season concluded disappointingly last campaign. After taking over in October, the Belgian manager initially sparked a resurgence at Ibrox, but the underperforming squad reverted to form in the final stretch. With the title within reach, Rangers struggled with mounting injuries, Dundee’s poor pitch conditions, and the challenge of grinding out results. A psychological barrier against eventual champions Celtic also proved detrimental.
Despite Clement’s talk of a significant rebuild over the summer bringing fresh optimism, recent comments have dampened that hope. Following a midweek friendly against Standard Liege, Clement expressed frustration over the summer transfer activity, citing the departure of five experienced first-team players and managing expectations for youthful additions Hamza Igamane and Clinton Nsiala, who are not expected to start.
Rangers fans, already anxious due to a perceived lack of transfer activity and the chaos surrounding the rebuild of the Copland Stand, found little reassurance in Clement’s remarks. After a 2-1 friendly defeat to Ajax, Clement further unsettled fans by stating that sales would be necessary before new signings could be made and hinted at being misled about the situation at Ibrox before taking the job. This growing frustration has only exacerbated the disconnect between the fans and the increasingly chaotic club.
