Leeds United to make Crysencio Summerville announcement tomorrow as exit nears
Leeds United will likely confirm Crysencio Summerville’s Elland Road exit on Saturday 3 August, according to Graham Smyth.
The Yorkshire Evening Post journalist reported via X on Friday (2 August) that the Dutch winger will likely be announced as a new West Ham United player tomorrow as the finishing touches are placed on his move.
Reports had suggested the 22-year-old was set to put pen to paper on his contract at the London Stadium before 4pm on Friday, but no prediction had been made on when the deal would be announced [Sean Whetstone, 2 August].
Daniel Farke’s side are expected to earn an initial fee in the region of £25million for the winger’s services, with further add-ons expected to push the value of the deal upwards of £30million [Last Word on Football, 1 August].
Will Crysencio Summerville exit Leeds United amid West Ham transfer links?
It had seemed as though a transfer announcement could be imminent at Elland Road in the coming hours, but it seems as though Leeds United supporters are going to have to just a little bit longer.
Summerville is closing in on a move away from Farke’s side and it will be completed sooner rather than later, but there won’t be any official confirmation from either club until tomorrow according to the latest reports.
Hopefully, that will give the higher-ups at Elland Road a little bit of extra time to arrange a replacement for the Dutchman to ensure they keep the fans onside with the new season only a matter of days away.
Farke’s side are still excellently equipped to take the Championship by storm with the likes of Wilfried Gnotno and Georginio Rutter waiting in the wings, but Summerville needs replacing before the window slams shut.
It would be a surprise if the news of the Dutchman’s exit was immediately followed by a new winger’s arrival, but fans will be hoping that a new face will have come through the door before the season gets up and running next week.
