The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 1st March) Summerville joins Chelsea's wish list
Good Morning. It's Friday 1st March, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road...
Summerville joins Chelsea's wish list
Crysencio Summerville has been added to Mauricio Pochettino’s wish list following Chelsea's last gasp victory of the Whites in the FA Cup, earlier this week. Scouts for the South West London outfit have been tracking Summerville for a while, but are now upping their interest in the 22 year old following similar scouting efforts from Liverpool (who are also believed to be targeting Archie Gray), and Aston Villa.
Summerville has come alive this season since switching flanks. As an inverted winger / third striker, he is far more dangerous in attack, which has seen him notch up 15 goals, and 8 assists. According to 'Whoscored', Summerville is the best player in the Championship with a rating of 7.80. He is ahead of Jack Clarke (7.63), Rutter (7.53), Dewsbury Hall (7.51) and Abdul Fatawu (7.32).
Cawley recovering in hospital after fall
The Leeds fan recovering in hospital after falling from the Upper tier of the away end has been named as no other than Aaron Cawley. If his name sounds familiar, it's because he received a four month prison sentence, and a six year football ground banning order back in 2012 after running onto the pitch, and attacking then Sheffield Wednesday keeper Chris Kirkland.
Interestingly, he appealed against the banning order, and in 2016, his ban was lifted, but still remains barred from Leeds Utd games, so maybe should not have been in attendance in the first place. The 33 year old was celebrating Mateo Joseph's opening 8th minutes goal on Wednesday evening, when he fell backwards onto empty seating below. What empty seating was doing at the away end when Leeds were in town, may always remain a mystery!
Jack Clarke linked with Elland Road return
Jack Clarke could make a sensational return to Elland Road this Summer according to a report from Leeds-Live. The former Thorp Arch academy player made the switch to Spurs nearly four years ago for a fee of £10m. Unfortunately for the then 19 year old, he lost his way, and found himself surplus to requirements. In the Summer of 2022 he signed for recently promoted Sunderland for £800k, (having assisted them out of league One) and has not looked back since. He has terrorised defenses this season, contributing 15 goals and four assists to the Black Cats cause.
