AS Roma are reportedly keeping close watch on West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville, with the Italian club’s transfer plans potentially influenced by the Hammers’ uncertain Premier League status.
The Dutch attacker has enjoyed a productive campaign despite his team’s difficulties, registering seven goals and four assists across all competitions. His influence has been particularly notable during a challenging season for West Ham, with several key moments helping the side pick up valuable points.
Between January and February, Summerville delivered an impressive scoring streak, finding the net in four consecutive matches. He also contributed a decisive goal in a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham in March, underlining his importance in tight fixtures. Overall, his performances have played a direct role in a handful of West Ham’s wins, including success against relegation rivals Tottenham.
These contributions have not gone unnoticed across Europe. While interest from clubs such as Galatasaray has previously been reported, Roma are now understood to be actively monitoring the winger as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the summer window.
According to reports from Italy, Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini is a long-term admirer of Summerville, particularly valuing his pace, directness, and ability to change games in transition. The club’s recruitment focus has sharpened due to inconsistent attacking output this season, with only a limited number of players making a consistent impact in forward areas.
Roma’s transfer strategy, however, may depend heavily on West Ham’s final league position. There is a belief within Italian media that the club would prefer to see West Ham relegated, as it could significantly reduce the cost and complexity of any potential deal. A drop to the Championship would likely weaken the English side’s negotiating position and open the door to more flexible offers, such as a loan arrangement with an option to buy.
Despite this, securing Summerville is expected to be far from straightforward. The 24-year-old’s performances in the Premier League have increased his profile, and interest is likely to extend beyond Italy. Other top-flight English clubs are also expected to monitor his situation, while teams capable of offering Champions League football could present strong competition.
If Roma fail to secure European qualification, their chances of landing the winger may diminish further, especially given the financial and sporting appeal of rival suitors.
As the summer window approaches, Summerville’s future looks set to become a contested topic, with West Ham’s league fate potentially playing a significant role in how negotiations unfold.
