Liverpool are eyeing up a potential move for Crysencio Summerville this summer, with reports suggesting they will prioritize signing him over other transfer targets if Leeds United fail to achieve promotion to the Premier League.
Following the departure of Jurgen Klopp, new manager Arne Slot is eager to strengthen the squad during the upcoming transfer window. Toby Cudworth and Ben Jacobs have indicated that the Reds are in search of a wide, creative-minded player, with Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United initially in the mix. However, due to his ties with rival club Everton, a move for Gordon appears unlikely.
As a result, Liverpool are now considering making a move for Summerville should Leeds miss out on promotion in the Play-Off final against Southampton. In the event of Leeds falling short, players like Georginio Rutter, Archie Gray, and Summerville could become targets for other top clubs in the Premier League and Europe.
With Summerville’s impressive performance this season, winning the Championship Player of the Year award and contributing 20 goals and nine assists, he is a highly sought-after talent. Liverpool see him as a perfect fit for the attacking-minded wide midfielder role they are looking to fill, and if Leeds are unable to secure promotion, they may struggle to hold onto their star player in the face of interest from other clubs. As Slot looks to make his mark at Anfield, a move for Summerville could be on the cards if Leeds’ promotion bid falls short.
