Leading Premier League clubs want West Ham forward Crysencio Summerville
Leading Premier League clubs want West Ham forward Crysencio Summerville West Ham United forward Crysencio Summerville is a target for leading Premier League clubs this summer, according to The Telegraph . The Hammers expect to profit on the £25 million they paid to sign him when he joined the club two years ago. West Ham would ideally love to keep the ‘fantastic’ Summerville, but if they go down, they may not be able to hold on to their best players.
Players like Summerville and Mateus Fernandes are already attracting keen interest, and more West Ham players will be targeted. Summerville has bagged seven goals and four assists in 31 appearances this season, bouncing back phenomenally from an injury-riddled debut campaign . He has been one of the few shining spots in what has been a very drab season at the London Stadium, and the interest in his services is unsurprising.
The Dutch youth international will be hot property as he is classed as home-grown after starting in Leeds United’s academy. Squads are limited in the number of non-home-grown players they can register, meaning clubs will increasingly be searching for home-grown players. West Ham should consider Wilfried Gnonto to replace Summerville if they go down If West Ham do suffer relegation, they may have to revisit Elland Road for reinforcements once again to replace Summerville.
Wilfried Gnonto is the perfect replacement. The Italian attacker has struggled for consistent game time this season after Noah Okafor moved ahead of him in the pecking order, but his quality remains unquestionable. Gnonto was a major part of Leeds’ promotion push last term, registering nine goals and six assists in 43 appearances as they climbed back into the Premier League.
At the Championship level, his explosiveness, direct dribbling, and ability to decide games in transition could make him a devastating weapon for West Ham. If the Hammers are forced into a rebuild, targeting hungry, proven EFL performers like Gnonto may offer the quickest route back to the top flight.
