According to a recent report by Dutch source Voetbal International, Scottish Premiership heavyweights Rangers are said to be among a host of top European clubs who are keen on acquiring the signature of Feyenoord’s teenage Dutch starlet Crysencio Summerville. The 18-year-old is said to be attracting substantial attention from a flurry of teams, and that the Dutch side had even rejected a multi-million dollar bid from Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers last season.
Although the report has clarified that Rangers are interested in Feyenoord’s Crysencio Summerville, the task of acquiring him will be no cakewalk for the Glasgow club. Belgian giants Anderlecht and Red Bull Salzburg are the two other teams who are said to be after the youngster’s services this summer. Although the player’s current contract with the Eredivisie is set to expire at the end of next season, the report claims that the trickster has already committed to signing a new one at De Kuip.
How Has Crysencio Summerville Made A Name For Himself In The Dutch League?
The 18-year-old Rotterdam native was born in October 2001 and spent time at the Noorderkwartier academy before being acquired by the Eredivisie side. The youngster spent a majority of his boyhood days at the De Kuip, and in the summer of 2017, he was promoted to the U17 team. Since that campaign, though, the youngster’s progression has been nothing short of sublime. The Dutchman has gradually developed into one of the most exciting prospects to have come out of the Feyenoord system in recent times.
The fact that Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves are interested in the trickster highlights the quality he has got, as the Molineux gaffer does have a reputation for identifying the best young talents. The attacker is yet to feature in a first-team game for De Stadionclub, but he had spent the last campaign on loan at fellow Eredivisie outfit ADO Den Haag. The youngster quickly managed to carve out a first-team place in his first-ever loan spell at a top-flight club.
What Would Summerville Add To This Rangers Side?
The trickster is a left-winger by position but is capable of playing anywhere across the front-line. Although his versatility will be an attractive aspect, what makes the youngster stand out from the rest is his ability to carry the ball with great comfort.
Undoubtedly he is most effective when operating out of the flanks. Capable of producing the odd skill-move as well, the youngster offers an extremely inventive and highly dangerous presence in the final third of the pitch.
Rangers Are Interested In Feyenoord’s Crysencio Summerville: Will He Fit In At The Ibrox?
Steven Gerrard’s agenda at the Ibrox Stadium clearly involves plans for the development and nurturing of young players, and acquiring this Dutchman would fit right into what they’re trying to achieve. The youngster has already proven during his days at the youth level and throughout last season that he has got what it takes to grow into a top player. At 18-years-old, Summerville still has a long way to go, but a switch to an ambitious outfit like Rangers could exactly be what he needs to explode onto the European scene.
