Leeds United transfer news: Crysenscio Summerville update emerges amid Aston Villa and Burnley links
Fabrizio Romano has issued an update on Leeds United attacker Crysenscio Summerville, who’s been linked with Burnley and wanted by Aston Villa.
The Sky Sports journalist claims that despite interest from Aston Villa and several other clubs, the club have no plans to sell the Dutch winger.
The Whites even turned down a £20million bid for the 22-year-old over the summer and he’s gone on to have an incredible first half of the season under Daniel Farke.
Romano wrote on Twitter, “Crysencio Summerville is on super stats since October: 10 goals and 5 assists. Understand several clubs including Aston Villa keep tracking him. Leeds have no intention to sell him in January as he’s key player. Burnley had £20m bid turned down by #LUFC in August.”
Keep him at all costs
It is imperative for Leeds to retain Summerville given his outstanding contributions to the team’s success.
The rejection of a £20million bid indicates his high value to the club and his exceptional performance under Farke, with 10 goals and 5 assists since October, proves just how crucial he is to this team.
In the context of Leeds’ promotion ambitions, the Dtuchman’s presence significantly enhances their chances.
His goal-scoring ability and creative flair make him a game-changer, providing the team with the attacking prowess needed for a successful promotion campaign.
The winger’s consistent form and impact on matches make him a linchpin in Leeds’ promotion pursuit, and his retention ensures continuity in their pursuit of top-flight football.
Considering the interest from clubs like Aston Villa and the previous bid from Burnley, Leeds must prioritise holding on to Summerville to maintain their competitive edge and bolster their promotion prospects in the crucial second half of the season.
Villa, however, have two billionaire owners in Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens and they’ve got a combined net worth of £9.4billion [Birmingham Live] so they may look to table an offer in January.
