Crysencio Summerville has issued a message for a key Leeds United figure and the club’s fans in highlighting a Whites demand on the back of victory at Norwich City.

By Lee Sobot

Summerville’s brilliant second-half brace saw Leeds to a 3-2 victory in Saturday’s Championship clash at Carrow Road in which Daniel Farke’s side trailed 2-0 at the break. A Shane Duffy own goal from a Dan James cross halved the deficit in the 63rd minute before a terrific strike from Summerville drew Leeds level 14 minutes later.

With just five minutes left on the clock, Summerville’s second goal of the game completed a stunning comeback victory as the Dutch winger raced clear on the counter before beating Canaries keeper George Long for the second time.

Summerville, though, was quick to thank teammate Georginio Rutter for his pass to release him as the match-winner revealed Rutter’s pre-match demands to him with praise for the record signing and also United’s travelling fans.

"He always says to me before the game, ‘if I give you an assist, you have to score’ and I am happy with the goal so thanks to Georginio,” said a delighted Summerville to LUTV.

"I had two big chances in the first half so I thought to myself ‘the next chance is going to be on target first’. I tried to hit the frame and it went in so it gave me confidence as well so the second one was not hard to score again.

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

Leeds created a raft of opportunities in an end to end first half yet trailed 2-0 at the break through Canaries strikes from Duffy and Gabriel Sara.

"The coach said we have to keep going because he said ‘this is football, if you don't score, the other team is going to do it for you,” said Summerville. “We were in a good run because we played very well but I think we were then more focused and there is where the goals came."

Hailing United’s travelling support, Summerville beamed: “I think our fans, they are fantastic, especially this away game, very far from home. So big thanks to the fans as well."

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...
