Leeds United could be in for a financial boost if Crysencio Summerville receives a senior international debut while playing for West Ham. Despite his transfer earlier in the season, Leeds have the opportunity to earn add-ons if he represents his country on a senior level, especially if he switches allegiance to Suriname.
Daniel Farke has successfully revamped Leeds’ attack this season after losing key players in the summer transfer window. Unfortunately, Summerville was one of those players who departed after their playoff final defeat, joining West Ham for a potential £34million deal with add-ons.
Although his performances for West Ham have been mixed, Summerville’s potential international debut could mean an extra £4million for Leeds. Reports suggest that Suriname is considering players with dual nationality for their national team, giving Summerville a chance to earn a senior call-up despite his Dutch background.
An additional £4million would be a significant boost for Leeds, especially during the summer transfer window. While it’s a shame that Summerville left before showcasing his full potential, his progression to the international level could further highlight his value to the club. There’s a possibility that he could eventually represent the Netherlands, but a call-up from Suriname would still be beneficial for all parties involved.
