According to a report from the Sunday Mirror, Crysencio Summerville is set to depart Leeds United, with a move back to the Premier League in sight. The newspaper highlighted on page 74 of its 14th July edition that Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace are actively pursuing the winger, who is valued at £40 million. Earlier, Paris Saint-Germain had also shown interest in the 22-year-old.
Summerville emerged as a key player for Leeds United at Elland Road last season, notably contributing to their journey to the EFL Championship play-off final at Wembley. His impressive record included 20 goals and nine assists in 46 league appearances, earning him the title of Sky Bet Championship Player of the Season.
Despite his pivotal role, Leeds United may not vigorously contest his departure, which could lead to frustration among fans hoping to retain him for the upcoming season. The club’s readiness to allow Summerville to leave suggests a potential redirection of funds by manager Daniel Farke. This decision comes as Leeds United aims to mount another challenge for promotion to the Premier League, albeit facing heightened challenges without Summerville in the squad.
Meanwhile, amid the transfer speculations surrounding Summerville, another Leeds United player has already moved to a new club as part of the ongoing transfer activities at Elland Road.
