Leeds United overturned a two-goal deficit to record their fourth victory in their last five Championship fixtures and Crysencio Summerville has given his verdict

By Chris Knight

Crysencio Summerville has revealed Daniel Farke urged his team not to panic and stick to the plan as they secured a thrilling comeback win at Norwich City. Farke's first return to Carrow Road following a four-year spell stint in charge of the Canaries ended in a 3-2 victory, with Summerville netting twice including the 85th-minute winner.

The visitors were guilty of spurning a number of opportunities before the break, and were punished as goals from Shane Duffy and Gabriel Sara gave Norwich a two-goal cushion. Duffy's own-goal halved the deficit shortly after the hour-mark before Summerville's double turned the game around, and the winger was asked about Farke's half-time mesage.

He told LUTV: "The coach said we had to keep going, he said this is football, if you don't score the other team is going to do it for you. I think we were on a good run because we played very well, but I think we were more focused and the goals came."

Summerville added: "It was difficult at the beginning, we created many chances but the ball didn't go in. But because we played very well, we just stuck to the plan and we got the win in the second-half so I'm very happy."

The victory lifts Leeds up into third, and extends their recent run to four victories in their last five matches. Reflecting on his own display, Summerville felt he had to deliver after missing chances earlier in the match, and believes the comeback proves United boast plenty of frontline options.

The matchwinner said: "I had two big chances in the first-half, so I told myself the next chance is going to be on target first and I tried to hit the frame and it went in. It gave me confidence as well, so the second one was not hard to score again.

"I think our attack has improved a lot, we've got many players who can create something, many players who can score. I think we're really good at the front now."

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...

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...
