Crysencio Summerville £12m Leeds United exit likely as Everton eye move
Crysencio Summerville is expected to leave Leeds United during the summer window as Everton track the 21-year-old, according to The Telegraph.
It’s believed the Dutchman could exit Elland Road for £12million with Feyenoord also interested in taking him back to his homeland (The Telegraph, 20 June).
Everton have shortlisted the winger as they look to stabilise after two relegation-threatened seasons on the bounce.
Blow
This would be a huge blow.
An attack that is made up of Summerville and Willy Gnonto could prove to be far too good for most Championship defenders.
If the board really want an immediate return to the top flight they have to be looking to keep hold of the 21-year-old. Much has been made of players who could arrive but ensuring there isn’t a mass exodus needs to be at the forefront of the 49ers’ thinking.
The new owners’ first challenge is to appoint a new permanent manager and fast. Daniel Farke and Scott Parker appear to be the names who have been linked firmly with the vacancy.
At present, Farke would be the most sensible appointment. The former Norwich boss has two Championship promotions to his name and was perhaps unfairly dismissed from his position at Carrow Road.
The German knows what is needed to get out of the second tier and plays a relatively attacking style of play. The board could certainly do a lot worse than the 46-year-old.
In other Leeds United news, a far more popular first-team ace could be set to follow Firpo out of the club amid new talks with an English club.
