Don Hutchison stunned by first sighting of Crysencio Summerville for Leeds v Fulham
Leeds United travelled to Fulham this evening in the Carabao Cup with plenty of issues within their squad.
Marcelo Bielsa had numerous injuries to deal with and handed Crysencio Summerville his first Whites start at Craven Cottage.
Don Hutchison was watching the young winger for the first time and was stunned by his speed and flair on the ball.
Speaking live on the BBC this evening, Hutchison couldn’t help but shower praise on Summerville this evening.
It’s the first time I’ve seen Summerville play,” he said.
“First time for Leeds, he’s very impressive and Joe Bryan is trying to deal with him.”
Mentor.
Raphinha is currently nursing an injury from the Newcastle game, and he will be the perfect player for Summerville to watch and learn from.
We saw the Brazilian hopping off the bench regularly after coming off at St James’ Park on Friday, giving pieces of advice to the Dutchman.
Hopefully, he can start learning quickly and can become that perfect fourth option behind the likes of Jack Harrison and Dan James too.
Summerville is ready to make that jump up, as he makes it look very easy in the Premier League 2 every single week.
It is about transferring that to senior football, and we believe he has all the attributes to do just that this season.
Bielsa doesn’t have much choice at the moment, and it is time for the electric winger to take advantage of that.
