Crysencio Summerville unlikely to exit Leeds United as Burnley look at Divock Origi transfer
Leeds United look set to hang on to winger Crysencio Summerville despite consideration from Burnley, who now look to be moving for AC Milan forward Divock Origi, according to Sky Sports.
The sports news outlet shared via their transfer blog [14:02] that a move for Summerville was under consideration but now looks unlikely to happen, while Origi remains a target for the Lancashire side.
It is claimed that Vincent Kompany is keen to make his former international teammate the club’s 15th signing of the summer transfer window, but there is still a lot of work to do to make it happen.
Leeds looking likely to hand on to their stars
Summerville has been one of three Leeds forwards who have been heavily linked to moves away from the club this summer, alongside Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra, with plenty of sides including many in the Premier League interested in their services.
For Leeds, these players will be key to their goal of escaping the Championship at the first time of asking this season, providing an extra level of quality that is not possessed by many second-tier sides, and three real difference makers who can decide games on their own.
With just hours to go in the transfer window, Leeds look like they will hang on to the trio, as they have been steadfast in their demands of big money from any interested sides, and are refusing to budge on their stance as they will not allow them to leave.
It has been a stressful summer for fans of the Yorkshire club, with plenty of outgoing players departing Elland Road since the window began, and they will be eagerly awaiting the deadline later tonight.
In other Leeds United news, the club could be set for compensation after one confirmed deal according to Phil Hay.
