Leeds United reject £10m PSV Eindhoven bid for Crysencio Summerville
Leeds United have rejected a bid of around £10million from PSV Eindhoven for Crysencio Summerville, according to Football League World.
FCUpdate previously reported on 7 June that the 21-year-old winger was wanted by Aston Villa, RB Leipzig and the Dutch outfit after Leeds were relegated from the Premier League.
The new report from Football League World says the Whites are holding out for a higher bid for the attacker, who is contracted at Elland Road until the summer of 2026.
The Dutch forward burst onto the scene in West Yorkshire last season after coming off the bench to net a late winner against Liverpool, but injuries blighted his form throughout the year, and he finished the campaign with just four Premier League goals.
Star asset
Leeds had few players who managed to improve their reputations last season, but Summerville was one of these names.
In an otherwise drab campaign for the Whites, the speedy winger was a bright spark, always looking dangerous in the final third and showing glimpses of quality that were otherwise missing from a blunt frontline.
It is no surprise to see numerous European clubs in for his services after being relegated to the Championship. He has too much class to be stuck in the second division.
Considering no news has emerged on any relegation clauses in his contract, an offer of £10million looks a little on the low side. Summerville should reap up towards £15million, especially considering a min-bidding war could be sparked in the summer transfer window.
After signing the Dutchman for just £1.3million, this is one of the few strong pieces of transfer business the club have undertaken in recent years.
