Report: Liverpool not expected to enter the race for Spurs-linked forward

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a potential boost in any pursuit of Crysencio Summerville, with TBR Football reporting that Liverpool are not expected to get involved in a bidding war for the Leeds United star.

Spurs have been linked with Crysencio Summerville

Summerville was one of the standout players in the Championship last term and the winger was always going to be the subject of intense interest if Leeds failed to win promotion, and that is exactly how things have turned out.

Two months ago, HITC claimed that the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and West Ham had all checked in on the Dutchman this season and were plotting a move for him.

However, it is Brighton who have seemingly made the first move for the 22-year-old, with Fabrizio Romano revealing earlier his week that the Seagulls had begun talks to bring the player to the Amex Stadium.

The journalist added that the race for the pacy wide-man’s signature is still ‘open’, naming Liverpool as one of the other contenders for the attacker.

However, TRB Football have now said that while the Reds had indeed watched Summerville extensively last season, they have now decided that they will not be pursuing the player.

The publication also backs up Romano’s claim about Brighton making contact, suggesting that the Segulls are prepared to pay £30m to land the former Feyenoord man.

With Tottenham having signed Timo Werner, one would think that Postecolgou would now want to add a top-class wide-forward who would be a significant upgrade to the options he already has.

While Summerville has shown a lot of promise, there is little evidence to suggest that he is at that level yet.
