Jamie Shackleton raves about Leeds winger Crysensio Summerville
Leeds United youngster Jamie Shackleton has showered heaps of praise on exciting talent Crysensio Summerville.
The 19-year-old has made a couple of Premier League appearances this season already and he is making big progress at the Leeds academy.
He has been excellent at the under-23 level and scored a cracking solo goal against Sunderland recently at the Stadium of Light.
A fair share of young talents have emerged from the club’s youth academy in recent years, including Shackleton himself, and he has suggested that the Whites fans should be excited over the emergence of Summerville.
While speaking to Yorkshire Evening Post, Shackleton has admitted that trying to mark Summerville is a “nightmare.”
“It’s also coming up against better players in training,” said Shackleton to YEP.
“Coming up against top-class forwards and wingers that we have inside the club definitely helps. Cry Summerville, is a nightmare to mark.
“He’s really sharp. For his size he’s very, very strong. I do my best to keep up with him and the other wingers. We’ve got some very sharp wingers at the club.”
Exciting talent
Summerville is a highly-rated young talent and the sky is the limit for him if he can fulfil his vast potential.
It seems Marcelo Bielsa trusts him highly and the youngster is likely to get more chances this season.
A pacey winger with bags of trickery, Summerville is exciting to watch. There’s a big hope around Elland Road that Leeds have a real player on their hands who could be the next big thing. He’s that talented.
At the moment, he needs to keep working hard and wait for his chances. It’s not easy for him to dislodge players like Raphinha, Jack Harrison or Daniel James from the first team, but he will get his chances to shine.
