Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman.

He has previously proven prolific at Championship level in loan spells for both Preston North End and Middlesbrough. Southampton have already shipped on one striker in the January transfer window, with the loan move of Ben Brereton Diaz to Leeds’ title rivals Sheffield United. The Chilean international struggled fo...
