According to TEAMtalk, Crystal Palace are now considering a move to sign Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham this summer.
Summerville impressed for Leeds last season
Summerville was one of the best attackers on show across the Championship last season, with the skilful winger scoring 21 times and providing 10 assists across all competitions (Transfermarkt).
It was first reported by HITC back in April that Tottenham and several other Premier League clubs were eyeing a move for the Dutchman.
The report also named the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and West Ham United as admirers of the pacy 22-year-old.
It also emerged last month that Brighton had begun talks with Leeds over a deal to take the wide-man to the Amex Stadium (Fabrizio Romano).
Crystal Palace enter the race for Summerville
If TEAMtalk’s latest update is to be believed, Palace could be the first side to make a move for Summerville.
The report says that Oliver Glasner’s men are on the lookout for an ‘electric forward’ to replace Michael Olise, with last season’s Championship Player of the Year being one of the options in their sights.
However, it is explained that the Eagles feel that the Leeds star’s natural position is on the left and he thus not be the like-for-like replacement they need for Olise.
Finally, the publication adds that Daniel Farke’s men will consider any offer that comes their way for Summerville, who is valued by the Yorkshire club at around £30m.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham would likely want a winger who would instantly improve their starting eleven and Summerville is not guaranteed to do that.
A signing like Pedro Neto is what Ange will be eyeing to add more directness and threat to his frontline.
