Leeds United have reached an agreement to transfer Crysencio Summerville to West Ham United, a move that could have repercussions for Everton. Everton may need to shift their focus to alternative transfer targets as they have shown interest in Willy Gnonto.
Last summer, Everton missed out on signing the Leeds United winger, with two bids rejected and Gnonto submitting a transfer request. Despite Leeds being relegated, they were adamant about not letting go of Gnonto, who had a successful season in the Championship.
With Archie Gray already sold to Tottenham Hotspur for a hefty fee, speculations are rife about Gnonto potentially leaving. Everton had re-signed Jack Harrison on loan from Leeds and brought in Jesper Lindstrom on a loan deal from Napoli. However, there seems to be a desire from manager Sean Dyche to add another pacey winger to the squad for the upcoming season.
However, Leeds is now on the verge of selling another key player, Crysencio Summerville, who was instrumental in their last season’s success. Despite interest from clubs like Liverpool and Newcastle United, Summerville looks set to join West Ham United. The transfer fee has been agreed upon, and Summerville is scheduled to undergo his medical in London today.
Should Summerville’s move to West Ham go through, it could impact Gnonto’s potential departure. Leeds manager Daniel Farke acknowledged the financial constraints the club faces but remains optimistic about finding solutions for any outgoing players. Leeds is hopeful that their best players will remain at the club and continue to perform for the team.
