Leeds United attacker Crysencio Summerville is nearing a transfer to a top-tier club, with Chelsea and Rennes emerging as potential suitors. According to TEAMtalk, Summerville’s agent has held talks with both clubs, and a move is likely to materialize this summer.
Summerville, 22, has been a key player for Leeds United, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists in 46 Championship games last season. His impressive performances have caught the attention of top-flight clubs, and it seems likely that he will leave Elland Road before the summer transfer window closes.
Leeds United have already lost several first-team players this summer, including Archie Gray, Charlie Cresswell, Glen Kamara, and Diego Llorente. The departure of Summerville would be a significant blow to the team, as he has been a crucial contributor to their goal tally.
The report suggests that Leeds United are willing to sell Summerville for a fee in the range of £30-35 million. Chelsea, in particular, are believed to be interested in the Dutch attacker, who has already proven his capabilities in the second tier and has top-flight experience.
While the potential departure of Summerville would be a loss for Leeds United, the club is likely to use the funds generated from his sale to strengthen their squad. With Willy Gnonto also linked with a move away, Leeds United may need to bolster their attacking options to maintain their promotion push.
Manager Daniel Farke has a good record in the Championship and is likely to be given the trust to shape his squad for the upcoming season. Despite the potential departures, Leeds United remain a strong contender for promotion, and their fans will be eagerly watching to see how the team shapes up before the start of the campaign.
In other news, Leeds United face a challenge in selling defender Rasmus Kristensen, with Eintracht Frankfurt preferring a loan move. The Bundesliga club’s stance may complicate Leeds United’s plans, as they seek to generate funds from player sales to strengthen their squad.
Meanwhile, Hibernian are interested in signing Jordan Smith, a free agent following his exit from Stockport County. AFC Fylde have snapped up Lincoln McFayden on a free transfer after his departure from Swansea City. Mansfield Town are trialing Celtic attacker Ben Quinn, and Crawley Town are chasing a top-flight goalkeeper.
The transfer window continues to be busy, with clubs across the Football League looking to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season. As the deadline approaches, fans will be eagerly watching to see how their teams shape up for the upcoming campaign.
