According to Teamtalk, Chelsea are interested in signing Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville in the summer transfer window. The club sees him as a potential target to improve their attacking unit. They are keeping tabs on the player and can make an official offer soon.
The player is admired by the Blues’ management and they understand the value he would bring to the club. The club will not be required to break the bank to land Summerville. However, other European sides may give neck-to-neck competition for his signing.
Crysencio Summerville has been impressive so far
Crysencio Summerville joined Leeds United from Feyenoord in 2020 for an undisclosed fee. Credits to his impressive performances, he went on to become a vital part of the group. As a result, the club tied him with a new contract which runs until 2026.
The Dutch attacker has featured in 35 games this season so far, netting 16 goals and providing eight assists. He is averaging 3.3 shots, 2.8 key passes and 2.4 dribbles per game along with a passing accuracy of around 85% (stats via whoscored).
Though Summerville mainly plays as the left-winger, he is equipped to operate on the right flank. He likes to cut inside towards the goal by either dribbling or short passing. With high shooting accuracy, he becomes a threat to the opponents.
Will Crysencio Summerville be a good buy?
Chelsea’s interest in Crysencio Summerville has emerged after the dismal performances of Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk. Both the wingers were signed during the winter window last season but haven’t been delivering up to the standards.
Summerville’s arrival will strengthen the Blues’ attacking options. With no significant weakness and all the qualities he possesses, he will add a lot of value to the squad. The plus point is that the club does not have to spend too much on his signature.
The club have preferred signing young talents over the past two seasons and building a core team around them. The Dutch footballer is just 22-year-old, meaning he can stay at Stamford Bridge for a long period of time.
