Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville has attracted significant interest from Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion, with a potential transfer fee reaching as high as £40 million.
Following their failure to secure promotion to the Premier League, Leeds is aiming to balance their finances this summer, making Summerville, the Championship Player of the Year, a key target for a major transfer. His impressive performances during the 2023/24 season, where he achieved double figures in goals and assists across all competitions, have heightened his market value.
Amidst the early stages of the transfer window, Brighton, along with Chelsea and Liverpool, have emerged as suitors for the 21-goal Dutch winger. Leeds is confident in their ability to dictate the terms of any sale, potentially commanding a fee exceeding £30 million. Supporters have indicated a preference for a £40 million valuation, underlining Summerville’s importance and value to the club.
Given the potential hesitation from interested parties over the steep valuation, discussions may include makeweight deals, where a player exchange could sweeten the agreement. Brighton’s keen interest at this juncture opens the door to exploring various scenarios that could benefit both clubs in finalizing the transfer.
David Carmo, a 24-year-old center-back, has made significant progress in his football career, particularly highlighted by a successful loan spell at Olympiacos. His performance in Greece was more than just a temporary boost; it was a clear demonstration of his capabilities, attracting attention from several top clubs. Initially not seen as a long-term option for Porto, Carmo’s impressive displays have made him a highly sought-after player in the competitive transfer market.

Despite a disappointing 16th-place finish in the Championship last season, Sunderland remains concerned about the potential departure of their top talents to higher-tier clubs this summer. Jack Clarke, who scored 15 goals for Sunderland, consistently served as a beacon of hope even when the team’s performance was lackluster. His impressive form has not gone unnoticed, with newly-promoted Southampton, under Russell Martin, reportedly preparing a significant bid for him. Similarly, Sunderland’s homegrown goalkeeper, Anthony Patterson, has been the subject of transfer speculation, attracting interest from Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Sunderland player Chris Rigg sustained a minor injury while representing England in Cyprus. Rigg, who captained England’s under-17 team, was taken off in the 88th minute during their match against Italy at the European U17 Championships due to a slight hip injury. This minor injury occurred as the game neared extra-time, and his removal was a precautionary measure.
During the 2023-24 season, Rigg made 21 appearances for Sunderland’s first team in the Championship, starting eight of the last eleven matches. His performances have attracted attention from several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Newcastle. Sunderland is hopeful that the opportunity for senior football will persuade him to stay with the club. Recognized as one of the top talents in his age group globally, Rigg remains a target for major clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich.
Rigg garnered significant attention earlier this season when he scored against Southampton, becoming Sunderland’s youngest-ever league goalscorer. He headed in Sunderland’s fifth goal of the game from an Abdoullah Ba cross, a moment that underscored his potential and furthered interest from top-tier clubs.

The Star reports that free agent Ovie Ejaria is of interest to Sheffield Wednesday, having trained with the team towards the end of their recent campaign. Although he couldn’t be registered in time, the 26-year-old midfielder could be a signing target for the 2024/25 season.
According to Foot Mercato, AS Monaco, Chelsea, and Juventus are among the clubs interested in Stoke City’s England U18 international Souleymane Sidibé.
