Identifying a suitable replacement for Crysencio Summerville is currently Leeds United’s top priority in the transfer market.
Although Leeds are targeting three new signings before the end of the transfer window, finding a player who can match Summerville’s impact will be a challenging task.
Summerville leaves behind an impressive record of 31 goal contributions and was considered the standout player in the league.
After the final whistle at Wembley, it was widely expected that Summerville would be departing Elland Road, prompting Leeds to begin preparations for his departure.
Reports suggest that Crystal Palace’s Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Norwich City’s Jonathan Rowe are the top two candidates to fill Summerville’s shoes at Leeds.
Leeds are currently negotiating with Norwich for Rowe and are reportedly edging closer to meeting his valuation.
Although Rak-Sakyi was initially linked with Sheffield United, Leeds and Hull City have now reached an agreement with Palace for a potential season-long loan deal.
Rak-Sakyi is expected to make a decision soon on his future club, with the possibility of featuring in the opening game of the EFL season.
With a strong pre-season performance under his belt, Rak-Sakyi could be ready to make an immediate impact if he decides to join Leeds ahead of their match against Portsmouth.
