Hamburg move to sign Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville gaining speed – report
Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville could join Hamburg on loan this month, with talks gaining ‘intensity’ according to BILD.
The young starlet has been pushing for a loan move away from the club this month as he looks to secure more regular playing time, despite making his Premier League debut earlier this season.
Summerville, 20, was linked to Rangers and Blackburn earlier in the window [TEAMtalk] but it now seems a move to Bundesliga 2 side Hamburg could be picking up pace.
According to BILD talks between the two are gaining speed and ‘intensity’, with the winger fitting their profile ‘perfectly’.
They say a loan move is ‘possible’ because the player wants to play more, but they face competition from clubs in the Netherlands for his signature.
Experience
Summerville got called into the squad during Leeds’ huge injury crisis around the Christmas period, but aside from that, he isn’t expected to be involved much.
He is a highly-rated young winger though and Leeds will be keen to see him progress to the first-team in the future.
At 20-years-old, the best thing for him is regular game time and if Hamburg can provide that then the club shouldn’t stand in his way unless they can do it themselves.
With Raphinha, Dan James, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo, Patrick Bamford, Joe Gelhardt and Tyler Roberts all options in the attacking third his chances of game-time at Elland Road are minute.
Hamburg will provide an excellent platform for him to show off his skills, while also earning valuable experience that will only benefit his Leeds career.
