West Ham United is the most recent Premier League team to express interest in Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville, with reports now revealing the amount the Hammers are willing to offer.
The 22-year-old, who was named Championship Player of the Season, has attracted attention from various top-flight clubs following Leeds’ failure to secure promotion to the Premier League. Summerville’s impressive record of 21 goals and 10 assists for Daniel Farke’s team has made him a sought-after player this summer.
Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Crystal Palace have all shown interest in the winger while Serie A club Roma has also initiated talks to sign the Dutch forward. West Ham has also made contact for a potential deal, but there is a sticking point.
West Ham is reportedly only willing to pay £20m for Summerville, which is half of Leeds’ asking price. Leeds, bolstered by Archie Gray’s move to Tottenham, are not pressed to sell and are holding out for a higher fee.
Summerville’s agents anticipate his departure from Leeds, as does the player himself. However, they are looking to negotiate a deal that benefits the club that brought him to England. With clubs looking to bypass financial regulations, securing a deal for Summerville may prove challenging for Leeds unless a club meets their asking price. As of now, Summerville has not taken any drastic measures to force a transfer.
