Leeds United are seeking for a “high-calibre” replacement for Crysencio Summerville, who will leave to join West Ham, according to Leeds Live.
On August 1, the site said that the West Yorkshire club is now trying to reinvest some of the money they made from player sales this summer.
Daniel Farke is already considering big-name signings after fresh reports emerged from Elland Road.
Leeds United should locate the ideal Crysencio Summerville successor.
Summerville’s departure will undoubtedly be a significant blow to Leeds’ attacking capabilities this season.
The 22-year-old concluded the season with the Championship Player of the Season accolade, having had his greatest year yet.
Summerville’s departure was widely expected by both fans and the media. Rumours about his future appeared to surge at the opening of the window.
However, following Archie Gray’s departure, Farke’s side found itself in a much stronger negotiation position.
As a result, the Whites stated their criteria for Summerville and were able to hold to them when teams came knocking.

With one shining light about to leave the club, Leeds must find another one quickly.
