'Big moment': Further celebrations for Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville as plan revealed - YEP 30/10/22

Further celebrations are in store for thriving young Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville, fresh from his "dream" winner in victory at Liverpool.

By Lee Sobot

Dutch ace Summerville bagged his first goal for Leeds in last weekend's 3-2 loss at home to Fulham but the winger savoured an altogether different high in Saturday evening's Premier League clash at Anfield. An end-to-end game appeared destined to end in a 1-1 draw but the lively Summerville pounced on to a loose ball following substitute Willy Gnonto's cross in the 89th minute before squeezing home a neat finish after a touch from Patrick Bamford.

His strike ended United's long wait for a win which had stretched to eight games and Netherlands under-21s international Summerville said the goal was a "big moment" in his young career. Less than 24 hours later, more magic moments now await on Sunday as the young Whites star celebrates his 21st birthday which he is spending with his family in Holland.

Asked not just about his goal but his 21st being the following day - and pressed on his journey so far - Summerville told Sky Sports: "That's right! As a young kid I played for Feyenoord. I always dreamed of playing in the Premier League and to score at Anfield is just a dream for every kid. I can't describe my feelings right now. I saw it, it went quickly. When you are in the box you have to think quickly so it just happened! It's a huge moment for me and my family, scoring at Anfield - it's a big moment for me."

Asked where his family were as he bagged his brilliant winner, Summerville revealed: "They are at home in Holland but I will visit tomorrow as it's my birthday! This one is going to be special"

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

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. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun

Beginning next month, Leeds supporters' personalised stones will be replaced with exact replicas, courtesy of a new company, to ensure of a 'much better quality' installation.

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o
