The Sun claims that Fulham and Bournemouth have entered the competition to recruit Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville this summer.
The news agency claims on their website (May 29) that the two Premier League teams, along with West Ham, Liverpool, and Chelsea, are interested in the 22-year-old winger after the Whites failed to secure promotion.
But Fulham and Bournemouth face an uphill task of convincing him to sign for them over the other clubs, with any deal expected to cost between £35-40million and a deal expected to happen.
Crysencio Summerville is a Premier League player
Anyone watching the Championship this season and watching Summerville’s performances will know that he is far too good to be playing in that division.
The Dutch forward was named Championship player of the year and with just two years remaining on his contract at Elland Road, an exit is expected to take place with the Whites needing to cut costs.
A move to a club in Europe would be perfect for him as he deserves that platform to showcase his abilities, but the amount of game time he would get would surely be a concern to him.
Leeds can offer that, but teams like Fulham or Bournemouth are much more likely to see him play regularly and serve as a springboard to a premier league team.
Even while it is currently just wishful thinking, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to play in the Championship for another year.
