Leeds United: Phil Hay speculates Crysencio Summerville talks after Fabrizio Romano update
Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville could be set for new talks at Elland Road, according to The Athletic’s Phil Hay.
The speculation comes amid the form of the Whites ace, who boasts 16 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season.
As per Fabrizio Romano (25 December), he was being tracked by Aston Villa among several other clubs, but Leeds had no interest in selling him in January.
“Interestingly nothing yet with Summerville, who does have a long deal, but the form that he is in this season is going to naturally lead at some point to that discussion, but it’s not ongoing at the moment,” Hay said on The Square Ball: Leeds United Podcast (16 February).
Leeds United should tie down Summerville
Leeds really should be doing all they can to tie Summerville down, with the attacker one of the in-form players in the Championship.
He has enjoyed a stunning season so far, with his league form particularly impressive, with 15 goals and eight assists from 29 matches.
That form is likely to force action from his club, who again will be desperate to fend off any interest, which should arise given his displays this season.
Whites manager Daniel Farke has helped to bring the best out of many players at Elland Road, and Summerville is certainly one of them.
The attacker will be key in the coming months as the club look to go all the way in the Championship, with promotion to the Premier League certain to give the Whites a great chance of keeping hold of the winger for the long term.
The West Yorkshire outfit are second in the table, 12 points behind league leaders Leicester City, who may just have already wrapped up the title.
