Ben Parker shares what Crysencio Summerville told him about Leeds United January exit
Ben Parker has revealed that he has spoken to Crysencio Summerville about a potential Leeds United exit in January, while appearing on LS11.
Speaking on the YouTube live stream (7 November), the former Leeds player was asked about Summerville’s future amid reported interest from Premier League clubs like Everton and Bournemouth.
And Parker revealed that he spoke to Summerville about it, and the 22-year-old Dutch winger is currently fully focused on earning promotion at Elland Road with goals and assists.
“There’s going to be interest,” he said. “When you’re playing well, clubs will be interested. That’s football.
“I spoke to him, Summerville, yesterday. He’s just loving being at the club and he is loving playing for Leeds.
“He’s got a massive goal and desire to get us promoted. He wants to do it by scoring goals, assists. He is loving being at the club.”
Brilliant
The summer transfer window was really unsettling for the club because there were so many rumours around and the future of players was up in the air right until the deadline passed.
That saw the team’s form suffer at the time, but now we have a settled squad we have improved greatly and are well placed to battle for promotion this season.
But January has the potential to unsettle us once again with so many players likely to be attracting interest from top leagues like the Premier League and across Europe.
Summerville has been one of our most influential players this season and losing him in the middle of the campaign can only be a bad thing, because replacing him with someone as good will be nigh on impossible in the Championship.
So to hear that he is happy to stay and has no intentions of going anywhere despite interest is a positive thing, and it’s one less thing we have to worry about now.
