Fabrizio Romano claims on Twitter that Premier League clubs are circling to sign Leeds ace Crysencio Summerville come January – after interest from Everton, Burnley and Bournemouth in the summer.
Summerville, 21, was the match winner on Saturday afternoon at Carrow Road as Leeds came from two goals down to win 3-2 at Daniel Farke’s old side. Summerville got two of our three second-half goals.
Leeds were losing 2-0 at the break, Shane Duffy and Gabrial Sara scoring for the Canaries. But it all changed when Duffy inadvertently turned in a Dan James shot into his own net. Momentum, switching.
Summerville then received a short corner on the edge of the box, curling one in off the post to make it 2-2. In the final few minutes of normal time, he raced forward to score his fourth goal of the season.
Romano said in the summer that Summerville was the subject of a £20m bid from Burnley. Now, the Italian reporter claims top-flight clubs want him in January – with Everton and Bournemouth also keen.
Premier League clubs circling to sign Summerville in January
Little surprise. Summerville’s form, especially in the last three games, has been exceptional this term. Opening game – a goal, an assist, but also an injury. In the next five games, he failed to score or assist.
With Willy Gnonto fit again, it might have been that Farke chose against using the Dutch ace at Carrow Road. But he did and it paid off. Summerville scored twice – after two goals and assists in his last two.
He now has four goals and two assists in nine league games and if he continues in this way before the January window – it will come as no surprise if clubs do make bids for him at the midway point of 23-24.
